| Lovers of lavenders will delight in the delicious selection of colours available in the RUFFLES collection ranging from a more traditional lilac colour through pinks to the unusual duo tones of ’Boysenberry Ruffles’ as well as the creamy tones of ‘Peachberry Ruffles’. Their aesthetic appeal does not end there as the chunky bracts atop the flower heads are distinctively rippled along their margins to give the ruffled appearance for which they have been named.
Compact and neat in habit they are ideal for small garden spaces or container culture in entertainment areas. As with most lavenders - they are dry tolerant once established and require only minimal maintenance.
All varieties in the RUFFLES collection have been bred in Australia, by PGA, to suit Australian conditions. They are more compact in habit with flowers sitting just above the foliage and are more tolerant of the humid conditions in our norther regions than many other types of lavender currently available on the market.
Varieties in the Ruffles collection are as follows:
1. L. 'Boysenberry Ruffles' - musky pink with deeper centres
2. L. ‘Sugarberry Ruffles’ - mauve/pink shade
3. L. ‘Blueberry Ruffles’ - striking purple/blue
4. L. ‘Mulberry Ruffles’ - deep pink
5. L. ‘Peachberry Ruffles’ - creamy white bracts fading to peach tips.
