Lavandula angustifolia Big Time Blue


English Lavender

USDA Zone: 5-9

Plant number: 1.315.440


(='Armtipp01') 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 selection is the earliest blooming and has larger purple-blue flowers than other varieties. 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. USPP#24827: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
