Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Introduced in 1991 by Ken Montgomery of Anderson Valley Nursery and named after his daughter, this hybrid between Lavandula angustifolia 'Martha Roderick' and Lavandula lanata retains the best qualities of both its parents. Like 'Martha Roderick', it is exquisitely compact, and like Lavandula lanata, its leaves are alluringly silver and downy. The frosted gray buds open into blue-violet, making a beautiful union with Geum 'Starkers Magnificum' or Teucrium chamaedrys.
