With so many lavenders to choose from, any new additions really need to be special; this one is. Like most lavenders, `La Diva Eternal Elegance’ stands apart with near-black spring borne flower buds that resemble tiny blackberries. By the end of spring, they open to reveal rich violet sweetly fragrant flowers that persist until late summer. Lovely for its floral display, but also valued for its compact shrubby stature and drought tolerance, `La Diva Eternal Elegance’ functions nicely as a dwarf hedge or companion plant and thrives in well drained light textured soils.
