Bred by New Zealand Lavender authority Virginia McNaughton, this aptly named colorful cultivar delivers ultrascented, vibrantly violet corollas and saturated violet-blue calyxes on staunch, long straight stems that are ideal for cutting. Silvery green leaves dress its upright bushy profile, and with Helichrysum italicum, Horehound and Sideritis nearby, they craft a brilliant association. (pp#15,344)

PPAF. Bred by New Zealand lavender specialist Virginia McNaughton of Lavender Downs, 'Violet Intrigue' has a dense mounding habit and profuse rich purple blooms on strong stems. An excellent crafting variety also, for it keeps its rich color when dried. In the garden, prune after flowering for another, later flush of bloom.
