PVR Thumbelina Leigh

Lavandula angustifolia

Lavandula angustifolia 'Thumbelina Leigh' is a charming miniature lavender discovered in a large trial population of English lavenders, by lavender connoisseur and breeder Elsie Hall, New Zealand.

After the first flowering in early summer, trim the plant back by half, carefully maintaining the naturally rounded form. A second flowering will follow quite quickly. 'Thumbelina Leigh' produces exceptional essential oil, however her main purpose is a charming garden plant, perfect in mixed borders, pollinator gardens, containers, or as a low growing divider or hedge.
