Description

New Product!

Provence Lavender (Lavandula x intermedia ‘Provence’) is the lavender of Provence — the tall, slender-spiked, intensely aromatic lavandin hybrid whose long wands of mauve-purple blooms have defined the lavender fields of southern France and the craft lavender market worldwide. With higher essential oil content than most lavender varieties, it’s the premier choice for cut flower bundles, dried bouquets, sachets, culinary lavender, and essential oil preparations where concentrated fragrance and quality matter. USDA-Certified Organic, heat and humidity tolerant, deer and rabbit resistant, and attracting butterflies and pollinators throughout its generous bloom season. Perennial in Zones 5–9.

High Essential Oil Content — The Lavender Professionals Prefer

Provence’s elevated essential oil content is what places it at the top of the lavender hierarchy for culinary, craft, and aromatic use. The flowers carry more concentrated fragrance than most English lavender varieties — making dried bundles more potently fragrant, sachets that last longer, culinary preparations with more pronounced lavender character, and essential oil yields worth extracting. Where appearance-forward English lavenders prioritize color density, Provence prioritizes fragrance depth.

The Cut Flower Lavender — Long Wands, Premium Bundles

The tall, slender flower spikes on long stems are specifically what make Provence the dominant lavender variety for cut flower production. Each spike presents cleanly on its wand, bundles attractively with others, and dries to a fragrant, beautiful preserved arrangement that holds its color and scent for months. Fresh-cut Provence bundles are one of the most beautiful and useful things a home herb garden can produce.

USDA-Certified Organic — Heat and Humidity Tolerant

Every Stark Bro’s Provence Lavender arrives USDA-Certified Organic, potted in quality soil, and ready to plant. Its heat and humidity tolerance makes it more adaptable to warm, humid summer climates than many lavender varieties that struggle in anything but cool, dry conditions — a practical advantage for growers outside the classic Pacific Coast lavender climate.
