Rosea

Rosea is an unusual pink-flowered English lavender that offers a soft, romantic alternative to the familiar purples and blues. It forms a compact, bushy mound about eighteen to twenty-four inches tall clad in grey-green foliage, topped in summer by spikes of pale rose-pink flowers. Fragrant and bee-friendly like other English lavenders, its distinctive coloring makes it a designer favorite for pastel borders, low hedges, and mixed plantings where a change from purple is wanted. Rosea is hardy and drought tolerant, thriving in full sun and well-drained soil. Its combination of true lavender fragrance with unexpected pink blooms makes it a charming and versatile choice for cottage-style permaculture gardens and pollinator plantings.
