Lavandula x allardii 'Meerlo' combines all the very best lavender qualities, and then some. It's not only humidity, heat and drought tolerant, it produces masses of elegant, long stemmed, light blue flowers, held high above stunning green and creamy-yellow variegated foliage. So even when its not in flower, 'Meerlo' never fails to impress and can be relied on for a captivating, year-round display. Brushing past the foliage, especially on a hot day, releases the soothing aroma of essential lavender oil and flower stems are great for picking. 'Meerlo' forms a dense, compact bush and benefits from a good trim in late winter / early spring to maintain shape and freshen up the foliage. Equally as good in the garden as it is in containers. Plant in a sunny position in free draining soil. Evergreen.
