L. angustifolia and L. lanata are the parents of 'Ana Luisa'd: bluish-lavender flowers June to August on foot-long stems above foliage so downy as to appear silvery. 3 ft. x 3 ft.Minimum temperature: -20?F

By: Dancing Oaks Nursery

The foliage of this medium-sized Lavender has so much down that it almost appears white. Another angustifolia and lanata melding, 'Ana Luisa's shimmering silver leaves put forth tapered bluish lavender flowers with pearly calyxes in early summer, and cast a superb luminous effect during the colder months.
