Lavandula 'Anouk' is a Dutch selection of the Spanish lavender, Lavandula stoechas, from Lammert Koning of Holland, who claims it is winter hardy to Zone 5b...which would be great, if true. 'Anouk' lavender was selected for its excellent outward branching but compact habit...2' tall x 8' wide in 5 years. The woody stems are adorned with pencil lead-thin, fragrant grey leaves. Each branch is topped, starting in late April, and continuing for months, with short spikes ending in dark purple flower heads with light lavender upright tails. We have always found Lavandula stoechas to be one of the best lavender species for hot, humid climates...incredibly drought-tolerant once established!
