Little Lady Lavender — Small Plant, Full Lavender

Little Lady is the lavender for people who think they have no room for lavender. At 30–45cm, she is genuinely compact: a tight, rounded dome of grey-green foliage topped with short spikes of pale violet-blue flowers from June. Everything about the plant is scaled down, but nothing is missing. The scent is as strong as you would expect from any English lavender, the flowers are properly formed, and the habit holds its shape without the splaying that troubles bigger varieties. She earns her place in a pot on a doorstep, at the front of a raised bed, along the edge of a patio, or as a low edging where Hidcote or Munstead would be too wide.

The RHS awarded her the AGM in 2012, a decade after the original Wisley lavender trial that established the benchmark for the genus. The trade name is Little Lady; the cultivar name is 'Batlad'. She is hardy to H5, which means comfortable throughout the UK including cold inland valleys and exposed northern gardens. If anything, she is tougher than her size suggests. Do not make the mistake of thinking small means fragile.

The Container Lavender

This is the variety we would point you towards if you want lavender in a pot and nothing else will do. Munstead works in containers, Hidcote manages, but Little Lady actually looks right in them; the proportions make sense, and the dome fills a 25–30cm pot without overflowing within two seasons. Use a gritty, free-draining compost (John Innes No. 2 mixed with perlite or horticultural grit, roughly 50:50) and do not feed. Lavender flowers better when it is hungry; rich compost produces lush leaf growth at the expense of flowers. Water only when the top couple of centimetres are dry. In winter, raise the pot on feet so it drains freely. That is the entire care regime. No lifting, no wrapping, no fuss.

Planting Partners

Little Lady's compact size makes her the front-row plant. Put Hidcote or Munstead behind her for a stepped effect that gives you three heights of lavender without needing anything taller than 60cm. In a mixed container, pair her with thyme and trailing silver-leaved plants. In a gravel garden or rock garden, she sits naturally alongside Arctic Snow (white, similar stature) and low-growing sedums. Rosemary is the classic aromatic companion, though it will outgrow her.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best lavender for pots?

Little Lady is our first choice. The compact habit fits a 25–30cm pot without becoming cramped, and the plant holds its dome shape for years with minimal pruning. Munstead is the next best option if you want something slightly larger. Avoid the bigger Dutch varieties like Grosso and Vera in pots; they outgrow most containers within a season.

How big does Little Lady lavender get?

Around 30–45cm in both height and spread when established, making it one of the most compact English lavenders available. In a pot, it tends to stay at the smaller end of that range. In open ground with good drainage and full sun, it can reach the upper end. Either way, she stays tidy and does not splay open the way some larger lavenders do after a few years.

Is Little Lady lavender good for cooking?

All English lavenders are suitable for culinary use, and Little Lady is no exception. The flowers have the same sweet, low-camphor scent as Munstead and Hidcote. Pick them just as they begin to open for the strongest flavour. The smaller flower spikes mean you need a few more stems per recipe, but the quality is the same.

How do I stop lavender going woody?

Prune every year without fail. Give a light trim in spring (late February to March) to tidy the shape, then a proper cut after flowering in late August or September. Take off the spent flower stems and at least the first pair of leaves below, but never cut into bare wood; lavender does not regenerate from old stems. Little Lady holds her shape better than most, but even she will open up if you skip pruning for two years running. More detail in our lavender pruning guide.

Does lavender keep mosquitoes away?

The essential oil does have some insect-repellent properties, and there is some evidence that mosquitoes avoid concentrated lavender scent. A single plant on a patio is unlikely to clear the area, but a row of lavender along a seating area combined with citronella candles makes a noticeable difference on warm evenings. At the very least, you get the scent, and the bees love it.

Comprehensive and helpful, but is it correct?
Format: Kindle
The authors put a lot of work into creating this 70,000-word book, based upon their personal experiences and their work with others to find and alleviate the energetic causes of diseases and maladies. The book covers a comprehensive list of medical conditions, explains their energetic cause, and offers energetic solutions. Certainly, there are many traumas, particularly childhood traumas, that can affect people mentally and emotionally and scar them for life, and affect many aspects of their personality, habits, and proneness to mental and emotional challenges, as well as contribute to worsening some physical problems. The book covers those well and gives some particularly good examples of how a parent's reaction to a child's mistakes, understanding and supportive, or condemning or belittling, can affect their subsequent behavior, personality, and health for years, maybe even for life. Where I found the book lacking, is it seems to assume that basically every medical condition or disease comes from past trauma and gives no space for the physical causes of many health challenges, or how many of those issues can be greatly alleviated or eliminated with diet and lifestyle changes. An example of the part right, part missing, explanation found for many issues listed in the book is for Adult Acne. According to the authors, the energetic cause is "something from your teenage years that hasn't yet healed." According to Harvard Health, "The four factors that directly contribute to acne (in teenagers or adults) are: excess oil production, pores becoming clogged by "sticky" skin cells, bacteria, and inflammation." This is further broken down by Harvard into actions and body functions that directly contribute to those four points, including, • "hormones, stress, and the menstrual cycle in women, all of which can influence oil production • hair products, skin care products, and makeup, which can clog pores • diet, which can influence inflammation throughout the body." Of those listed items only "stress" can be an energetic contributing cause. Some of the other items are mostly out of an individual's control, such as hormones and menstrual cycles. Other items are controllable, such as makeup, hair care, and diet choices. This same pattern of overlooking all other causes except "energetic" and offering no other solutions except "energetic", and applying that remedy to some conditions that have purely or mostly physical causes, and/or can be remedied by changes in diet or lifestyle choices, is why I only gave the book 3 stars. However, this is not a negative review. Many of the suggestions by the authors for finding the source of emotional and mental traumas, and changing the negative energy still reverberating from past experiences to help alleviate present-day maladies are insightful, and many people will find to be beneficial.

Easy to read, practical advice in every important area
Format: Paperback
I bought this book for my daughter but since she was away this weekend, I read through it myself. I ended up writing three pages of bullets/notes! Some things I already knew and was going to suggest to her so it was nice to have validation but I learned a few new things myself. I would tell her to recommend this to all her friends in school but I think I'll wait until after she finds a job because the tips are so clearly spelled out that I think this book will be an advantage for her. I also appreciated the fact that she recommends the best way to use your parents as a resource. My favorite advice beyond the very important (lock down your social media sites now) and the very practical (add a signature line in your email) was Follow Every Rainbow. Now here's hoping with a graduation one semester early, four internships and this great book that she gets that very important first job on her way to enjoying her career as much as her father and I have enjoyed ours.

Great and easy to follow tips
Format: Paperback
Lindsey Pollak breaks it down for you! Her tips are mostly great, found some that I wasn't even aware of. I also enjoyed the fact that she starts by telling us her own story and how her career built up over time by taking action. The author also provides great insights from many other industry leaders. I would definitely recommend this book to us young and restless grads!

Great book!
Format: Paperback
This book is a great complement to my book "The Secret To Getting A Job After College". While I cover the details about resumes and cover letters, this book does a very effective job addressing issues related to determining what you should think about doing after college and the author also has a valuable section on how to prepare your elevator speech. I recommend it for everyone who is in college or has graduated in the past few years and I now consider it required reading for many of my students.
