Not every lavender is purple. Our Ellagance Snow Lavender Seeds are an English lavender, Lavandula angustifolia, with soft white flowers on tidy, compact plants. White lavender makes a lovely contrast next to purple varieties and a beautiful choice for moon gardens, wedding bouquets and white-themed borders.

Designing with white lavender
- Moon gardens: white flowers and silvery foliage catch the last light of evening and seem to glow at dusk. Plant it near a patio or path you use after dark.
- Purple and white: drifts of white between deep purple lavenders make both colors look stronger. Alternate them along a path or plant a white band in front of a purple row.
- All-white borders: pair it with other white-flowered, sun-loving plants for a calm, clean look.
- Containers: compact plants fit pots by a door or on a sunny step.

Starting the seeds
Give the seeds a few weeks of cold, moist chilling in the refrigerator. Press them onto the surface of seed-starting mix, leave them uncovered since they need light, and keep them warm and lightly moist. Sprouting is slow and uneven, so do not give up on the tray too soon. Move seedlings into bright light right away, pot them up once they have true leaves and harden them off before planting out after your last frost.
Bouquets and wedding flowers
Once plants are established and blooming, cut stems on a dry morning when the buds are showing color and only a few flowers have opened. White lavender adds a soft texture to bouquets, boutonnieres and table jars, and it dries well hung upside down in a shaded, airy spot. If you are growing for a wedding, start seeds well ahead, since seed-grown lavender takes time to reach blooming size.
Frequently asked questions
Will every plant be pure white?
Lavender grown from seed can vary a little from plant to plant, so expect some natural variation.
Does white lavender need different care?
No. It needs the same full sun, well-drained soil and light hand with water as any English lavender.
