Silver Anouk is a Spanish lavender prized for its bright silver foliage, compact habit, and long season of interest. Plants form a dense, rounded shrub with striking silver leaves that provide contrast year-round, even when not in bloom.
The flowers are deep purple and topped with distinctive purplish-pink bracts, giving them the bold, sculptural look Spanish lavenders are known for. Silver Anouk is especially heavy blooming in spring, with repeat flowering possible under good conditions. It is also noted for its disease resistance and fragrant foliage and blooms, making it a reliable and low-maintenance choice.
Its compact size and clean structure make Silver Anouk well suited to containers, borders, and decorative plantings where foliage and form matter as much as flowers.
