Origin & Breeding History: 'Anouk Deluxe 173' is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the breeder, Lammert Koning, in Boskoop, Netherlands. It originated from a controlled cross conducted in May 2010, between the Lavandula stoechas variety 'Anouk', as the female parent, and an unknown male parent. From the resulting progeny, 'Anouk Deluxe 173' was selected in May 2011, in Boskoop, for its compact, narrow-upright plant growth habit, very dark purple infertile bracts, strong reblooming and strong branches. 'Anouk Deluxe 173' was first propagated by vegetative cuttings in August 2012, in Boskoop, Netherlands.
Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'Anouk Deluxe 173' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 2014/1867, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office, in Angers, France. The trial was conducted by the Groupe d'Étude et de contrôle des Variétés Et des Semences, in Cavaillon, France, from 2015 to 2016. The colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
