It originated from a controlled cross conducted in the summer of 2008, in Nuis, between the Lavandula stoechas hybrid designated '400', as the female parent, and the Lavandula stoechas variety 'Anouk', as the male parent. From the resulting progeny, 'Anouk Deluxe 1956' was selected in the summer of 2009, in Nuis, for its compact plant growth habit, and long flowering period. 'Anouk Deluxe 1956' was first propagated by vegetative cuttings in the autumn of 2009, in Nuis, Netherlands.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'Anouk Deluxe 1956' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 2013/1635, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office, in Angers, France.

The colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
