Royal Anouk Spanish Lavender (Lavandula stoechas ‘Anouk Deluxe 201909’) displays luxurious purple bracts perched atop strong, upright stems. Its flags of color exude a delightful fragrance and entice both bees and butterflies throughout the growing season. Foliage remains a fresh green, while the plant’s compact form of about 14-18 inches tall suits borders, patio planters, or accent groupings. In our experience, this selection shows excellent disease resistance and repeats its showy bloom from spring into autumn, making Royal Anouk Spanish Lavender a compelling choice for gardeners seeking a long-lasting lavender.
Deer typically avoid this aromatic plant, leaving you with worry-free maintenance. Its Spanish heritage ensures a degree of heat and drought tolerance, while the bracts offer a unique twist on the usual lavender look. Adorn pathways, rockeries, or containers with its ornamental spikes, and enjoy the bonus of harvested blooms for drying or use in cut arrangements. Pollinator visits add a lively touch to your summer garden experience.
Royal Anouk Spanish Lavender Care
Choose a site with full sun exposure and well-drained soil, ideally on the neutral to slightly alkaline side. Water thoroughly at planting, then plan to water when the top two inches of soil dry. A gentle fertilizer once a month helps maintain robust foliage and encourages prolonged flowering. Minimize soggy conditions by ensuring containers or garden spots have adequate drainage.
A light trim after blooming refreshes the plant and can coax out additional color. Container-grown specimens need extra vigilance with watering, particularly in peak heat, though be cautious of oversaturation. In colder zones, add a mulch layer around roots for winter defense. Move pots to a sheltered spot if winter temperatures dip below its hardiness threshold.
Royal Anouk Spanish Lavender Spacing
Allow about 12-16 inches between plants if arranging along a garden border or massing. For a potted specimen, pick a container roughly 10-12 inches wide and equally deep, providing the roots sufficient room and avoiding waterlogging.

?
"Blooms on" tells you which stems produce flowers, which decides when it's safe to prune.
- New Wood: Flowers form on stems that grow this season. Prune in late winter or early spring without losing blooms.
- Old Wood: Flower buds form on last year's stems. Prune right after flowering. Pruning in fall or early spring removes next year's blooms.
- Both New and Old Wood: Blooms on last year's stems and again on new growth, so it flowers even after a hard winter or a mistimed pruning. Prune lightly after the first flush of blooms.
