Lavandula angustifolia Blue Scent™


English Lavender

USDA Zone: 5-9

Plant number: 1.315.030


(='Syngablusc') Lavender is actually a low-growing shrub, native to the Mediterranean region. The fragrant flowers and foliage make it a favourite for herb gardens and in the perennial border. Will also grow fine in tubs or containers, but in colder regions the plants may then need shelter for the winter. This compact, bushy strain has grey-green foliage and spikes of deep lavender-blue flowers over a long season. Prune lightly in early spring, no harder than 4 inches. Lavender MUST have good drainage in order to avoid root rot problems. Consider growing in a raised bed or rock garden.
