Compact growing and very soft violet flowering. 'Brabants Lust' is named after a Dutch province Brabant...but I'm not sure if it is a recent Dutch introduction. 'Brabants Lust' is very easy...it will grow to a nice compact bush ...even without pruning. It's your chance to grow a perfect growing Lavender on a lazy way .. you'll prune it only now and then.
