    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This larger growing lavender is very silver and compact in shape and will be a powerful addition to the border or silver bed. Deep blue long spikes of lightly fragrant flowers over a long period. Shear lavenders lightly in early spring just as they begin growth and again after flowering to keep tidy.

    A dense grower forming a 2' mound with woolly, gray-white leaves. The fresh blue flowers are held on almost 2' stems; not as generous a bloomer as some cultivars, but a durable, garden tolerant selection. Hardy to 10F. Garden origin.
