Lavender ‘Castilliano Lilac’ is a striking variety known for its rich purple flower heads crowned with soft lilac bracts, giving the blooms a layered, almost ornamental appearance.
 
The contrast between the darker flowers and paler bracts makes this variety particularly eye-catching in the garden.
 
Plants form compact, upright clumps and perform best in sunny, sheltered positions with excellent drainage. Flowering in early to mid-summer, ‘Castilliano Lilac’ is highly attractive to pollinators and works beautifully in borders, gravel gardens, and containers.
 
An excellent choice for gardeners looking for a lavender with strong fragrance and a more unusual flower form, ideal for cutting, drying, and adding structure to planting schemes.
