Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Crowned in a creamy white, this head turning Lavender originated as a hybrid seedling from Oregon's Van Hevelingen Nursery. Large chubby flower heads house rows of small purple corollas beneath perky rabbit ear-like bracts, while pine-scented gray-green leaves fashion a neat pastel-colored base. Try mixing 'Ivory Crown' with Thymus 'Albus' and Eryngium 'Silver Salentino' for a luminous blend of white blossoms.
