    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    I can’t tell you how MANY ‘dwarf’ lavenders I have grown only to be disappointed by a 3-4’ monster of ugly woodiness! This one is the exception…our plants have stayed very compact, 18-20” spreading to 28-30”. Traditional fragrance, culinary uses with flowers on short stems (not good for lavender wands). Full sun, fast draining soils and next to no water is best!
