    An unusual color combination (sky blue combined with white bracts), a compact habit (to 1-2') and very early blooming (possibly starting as early as Easter) all make this French lavender ideal for container/border. S/M-D/GDr

    Plump long-blooming dark blue flowers topped with luminous white rabbit ear-like tufts accord 'Madrid Blue' a whimsical air, while strongly scented narrow gray-green leaves fashion a compact tailored foil for the bevy of eye-catching aromatic blooms. Not as cold-hardy as other Lavandula species, this new cultivar needs a yearly trim, protection from harsh winter conditions and a well-drained locale to ensure its longevity and innate good looks.
