About this Plant
Meerlo Lavender (Lavandula allardii 'Meerlo') is perhaps the most beautiful variegated lavender available today. This award-winning selection features highly aromatic, serrated foliage in a stunning shade of grey-green with creamy-ivory margins. Unlike many lavenders, 'Meerlo' is prized primarily for its foliage, which remains lush and bright even through the heat of summer.
As a robust member of the Lavandula genus, 'Meerlo' is exceptionally heat, humidity, and drought tolerant. In summer, it produces tall spikes of light blue flowers that are highly attractive to pollinators. Why you’ll love it: Breathtaking variegated leaves, intense fragrance, and a tough, deer-resistant nature that provides architectural color all year.
This healthy 4" live plant excels in full sun and requires excellent drainage to thrive.
