Lavender ‘La Diva Spirit White’ is a compact English lavender prized for its fragrant silvery-green foliage and elegant spikes of pure white flowers. The tidy, rounded plant produces abundant blooms through summer, creating a bright contrast to traditional purple lavender varieties. Its aromatic foliage releases the classic lavender scent when brushed, while the nectar-rich flowers attract bees and butterflies. This variety is valued for its strong branching habit and excellent landscape performance, making it ideal for herb gardens, borders, containers, and pollinator plantings.
