LAVENDER

Fragrant, deep blue spikes that stick straight up above the grey green foliage. Lavender thrives in full hot sun, in well drained soil. It is drought tolerant once established and deer resistant. They are highly effective in mass plantings. We sell most of them in both 1 gallon and 4” pots. A few varieties we sell in only one size.

Perennial Lavenders

Lavandula angustifolium: These are the hardiest species of lavender. All of these lavenders should overwinter if they have good drainage otherwise they will rot when it is cold and wet. We sell several of these varieties.

• Munstead and Hidcote are the oldest varieties and still two of our favorites.

• Provence has become very popular.

• Phenomenal is a newer cultivar, showing a lot of promise.

• Blue cushion and Super Blue are a few newer cultivars that we are trying out and testing their hardiness. They claim to be hardy.

Annual Lavenders

The annual lavenders bloom longer than the perennial lavenders but they will not overwinter and come back year after year.

• Grosso

• Elegance Purple

• Lavandula dentata, the fringed French lavender

• Lavandula stoechas: This year we are growing a Spanish Lavender from seed in two colors, deep purple and deep rose. , They will not overwinter.
