Stunning Silver-Pink Lavender for Phoenix Desert Gardens

Lavandula stoechas 'Ghostly Princess' is a show-stopping lavender cultivar that brings an ethereal silver-and-pink palette to Phoenix Valley landscapes.

Whether you're designing a modern cottage garden in Scottsdale, creating a fragrant border in Chandler, or adding soft color to a xeriscape in Gilbert — Ghostly Princess delivers elegance that other lavenders simply can't match.

Ghostly Princess Lavender Uses in Phoenix Landscapes

Elegant Border & Edging Plant

At just 1.5–2 feet tall, Ghostly Princess is perfectly sized for borders along walkways, patios, and garden beds. Space plants 18–24 inches apart for a continuous silvery-pink ribbon that releases fragrance as people walk by. The compact mounding habit stays neat without constant pruning, making it ideal for low-maintenance Scottsdale and Mesa landscapes.

Color Contrast in Desert Gardens

The unique silver-pink color palette makes Ghostly Princess a designer's favorite for creating contrast in desert landscapes. Pair with deep purple Texas Sage, orange Chuparosa, or yellow Desert Marigold for a striking color combination. The silvery foliage bridges warm and cool tones, making it one of the most versatile accent plants for Tempe and Peoria xeriscapes.

Fragrant Container & Courtyard Planting

Ghostly Princess thrives in containers and raised planters, making it perfect for Phoenix courtyards, balconies, and pool areas. The aromatic foliage releases fragrance in the warm evening air, and the compact size keeps it proportional in pots. Use decorative terracotta or glazed containers for a Mediterranean courtyard feel in Glendale and Paradise Valley.

Best Time to Plant Ghostly Princess Lavender in Phoenix

Fall (October–November) is the ideal planting window. Warm soil encourages fast root establishment while cooler air reduces transplant stress. Your plant gets 6–8 months of root development before its first summer. Spring (February–March) is also excellent — just stay on top of watering as temperatures rise. Avoid planting in peak summer heat.

How to Plant Ghostly Princess Lavender

  1. Dig wide, not deep — 2–3x the root ball width, same depth
  2. Check for caliche — break through any hardpan layer. Lavender demands fast drainage.
  3. Backfill with native soil — add perlite or coarse sand if drainage is slow. Skip heavy compost.
  4. Spacing — 18–24 inches apart for borders; 2 feet for individual specimens
  5. Water basin — build a shallow ring for initial watering only
  6. Mulch — 1–2 inches of gravel mulch (not bark). Gravel keeps the crown dry and reflects heat, which lavender loves.

Watering Ghostly Princess Lavender in Phoenix

First Year Watering Schedule

  • Weeks 1–2: Every 1–2 days, deep and slow (15–20 min)
  • Month 1–2: Every 3–4 days
  • Month 3–6: Every 7–10 days (5–7 days in peak summer)
  • After Year 1: Every 10–14 days summer; every 3–4 weeks winter

Drip Irrigation

Place 1 emitter 6–12 inches from the base, delivering 1 GPH. Established lavender is extremely sensitive to overwatering — this is the number one cause of lavender failure in Phoenix. When in doubt, keep it dry. Yellowing leaves or a leggy appearance usually means too much water.

How is Ghostly Princess different from regular French Lavender?
Ghostly Princess is a named cultivar of Lavandula stoechas selected for its unique soft pink and silver coloring. Standard French Lavender has deeper purple flowers. Ghostly Princess tends to be slightly more compact and has a more distinctive silver sheen to its foliage.

Is Ghostly Princess Lavender fragrant?
Yes — the foliage and flowers both carry a classic lavender scent. While not quite as strong as English Lavender, the fragrance is noticeable when you brush against the plant or harvest stems. It's especially lovely in evening garden strolls when Phoenix air temperatures cool.

Does it bloom all year in Phoenix?
The main bloom period runs spring through summer with multiple flushes. In mild Phoenix winters, you may see sporadic blooms as well. Deadheading spent flower spikes encourages repeat blooming and keeps the plant looking tidy.

Is it deer and rabbit resistant?
Yes — like all lavenders, the strong essential oils make Ghostly Princess unpalatable to deer and rabbits. It's one of the most pest-free perennials you can plant in the Phoenix Valley.

  • Bush Germander — compact Mediterranean shrub with purple flowers

How Many Ghostly Princess Lavender Do I Need?

This lavender matures to about 1.5 to 2 feet wide, so space plants on 18 to 24 inch centers for a continuous border. Use this guide (at 2 ft spacing):

Border length Plants needed
5 ft 3 plants
10 ft 5 plants
20 ft 10 plants
40 ft 20 plants

Tighten to 18 inch spacing for a faster, fuller fragrant ribbon, or use single plants as 2 ft specimens in containers and courtyards.

Ghostly Princess Lavender Season-by-Season in Phoenix

  • Spring (Feb to Apr): Main bloom begins, the silver-pink bracts rise on fresh growth. Best second planting window of the year and a great time to deadhead for repeat flushes.
  • Summer (May to Sep): Continues blooming in flushes through the heat and reflected heat off walls. Keep it lean and dry: monsoon humidity and overwatering are the main risks, so back off irrigation to prevent crown rot.
  • Fall (Oct to Nov): Prime planting season. Cooler nights tidy the plant and roots establish quickly in warm soil.
  • Winter (Dec to Jan): Evergreen silver foliage holds through the season and may toss out sporadic blooms in a mild winter. Cold-hardy in the Valley with no frost protection needed.

Plant It With

  • French Lavender: deeper purple Spanish lavender to layer with the silver-pink for a richer lavender border.
  • Fernleaf Lavender: lacy cut-leaf lavender that adds a finer texture alongside it.
  • Gaura White: airy white butterfly blooms that float above the pink bracts.
  • Bush Germander: silver Mediterranean shrub with blue flowers that echoes the foliage tone.

Is Ghostly Princess Lavender Right for Your Yard?

Ghostly Princess is ideal for full-sun borders, courtyards, and containers with fast-draining soil where you want fragrance, silver foliage, and soft pink color on a low water budget. It is cold-hardy in the Valley and shrugged off by deer and rabbits. It is not a fit for shady spots or heavy, slow-draining clay, where excess moisture rots the crown; in those areas keep it in raised beds or gravelly soil instead.

not indestructible
Color: 1PC
My dog ate through it in 4 days. The bear is not indestructible. It died a very undignified death. I am convinced that my dog was a goat in a past life. He eats everything that is not nailed down.

Not good for an aggressive chewer
Color: 1PC
This toy is not indestructible. My little Aussie had one ear off and its neck cut in less then 6 hours and by the next day he had the foot chewed off. It is cute and he loved it, but it is stuffed and not really safe for an aggressive chewer.

A real review.
Color: 2PC, Color: 2PC
When I saw the Unbreakable Teddy Extreme Bear 2.0, I thought, Finally! A toy that might survive my 9-month-old Rottweiler puppy, Pepper. She’s an aggressive chewer with a love for stuffies—she adores them, right up until she disembowels them and feasts on their cotton insides like a tiny, unhinged zombie. The toy’s name, "Unbreakabear," sounded promising. Durable? Stuffie-like? For large breeds? Sign me up! Fifteen minutes later, it looked like a crime scene from a horror movie. The Good: Pepper was IN LOVE with this toy... for about 10 minutes. The double pack is nice in theory—you know, so you have a backup when the first one inevitably doesn’t live up to its "unbreakable" promise. The Bad: False Advertising: This toy is marketed as "extremely durable for aggressive chewers." But let me tell you: Pepper’s chewing isn’t aggressive—it’s surgical. She shredded the bear’s ears, ripped off the tail, and then went straight for the brain like she was auditioning for Zombie Dogs Gone Wild. It didn’t even put up a fight. Durability (or Lack Thereof): Calling this toy "extreme" is like calling a paper towel roll a chew toy. One good shake, and the seams basically exploded in surrender. Safety Concerns: Once Pepper exposed the stuffing (and the metaphorical "brains"), it was a race to see if I could stop her from swallowing it. Stuffing everywhere. The floor looked like someone had murdered a carnival bear. The Ugly: Walking into the room after Pepper was done was like stumbling upon the aftermath of a teddy bear massacre. The "Unbreakabear" lay limp on the floor, its ears and tail missing, stuffing spewed around like it was the victim of a bear-sized horror flick. Pepper, triumphant, sat there with bits of fluff clinging to her mouth, looking like a deranged extra from The Walking Dead. Final Thoughts: If your dog is a light chewer who likes to gently cuddle their toys, this might be fine. But if your dog sees toys as a challenge, run. Stick to hard rubber toys, Kongs, or something without a vulnerable, squishy middle. As for the warranty? Sure, I could try to get a replacement, but what’s the point? Pepper will just go full zombie surgeon again. Would I recommend this toy? Only if you’re filming a sequel to Teddy Bear Massacre. For aggressive chewers, this is nothing but fluff and disappointment. Pepper’s Review: 5/5 stars for taste. 0/5 stars for durability.
