Description
Lavandula angustifolia
This AAS winner offers blue-green foliage on very uniform plants just 10 to 16 inches high! Lavender angustifolia is one of the richest in essential oils, meaning more fragrance power both fresh and dried. And this ‘Lady’ cultivar, an AAS winner, has a more uniform habit and it blooms in only 90 days from seed! Fresh flowers can be crystallized and used in candies and cakes; dried flowers are used in potpourris and sachets; oils are used in creams and perfumes. And these are only some of the more common uses – imagination can create endless more! An evergreen perennial, Lavender ‘Lady’ has a subtle blue-green coloring and sweet fragrance. Reaching 10 to 16 inches high and 10 inches wide, it boasts 2 1/2 inch, linear, downy leaves on strong stems. The leaves first open white, then turn a pale gray-blue-green color. Stalks of lavender flowers grow up to 12 inches tall above the foliage.
Optimal growing conditions: True lavender is soil and drought tolerant but performs best in well-drained soil under full sun. Drainage is the most important factor. Another thing useful to know: Growth can be slow and soft in heavy soils, and a hardiness problem may appear. In good conditions, the growth rate is moderate.
