‘Violet Intrigue’ is appropriately named for its multitude of elongated, never-ending, summertime spikes of richly violet flowers. This is clearly one of the very best lavenders not only for flowers but compact habit, clean foliage, and strong fragrance. `Violet Intrigue’ is great on a small or large scale as a ground cover or edging but also excels as a companion.

Care
Watering:
'Violet Intrigue' Lavender is moderately drought tolerant but benefits from occasional watering, to maintain soil in a moist but not wet condition, during the summer months.
Fertilizing:
'Violet Intrigue' Lavender is a moderate feeder, benefiting from a couple of annual applications of slow release fertilizer. A spring application of a 3-1-2 ratio (such as a 15-5-10) can be applied at a rate of about 10 pounds per 1000 square feet, and during early fall, an application of a 2-1-2 ratio (such as a 10-5-10) can be applied to encourage root development and cold hardiness.
Pruning:
'Violet Intrigue' Lavender sets its flower buds in summer, and any pruning should be conducted in April, immediately after winter.
