| Lavendula angustifolia- these plants are hardy to zone 5, which is what our growing zone here in mid-Michigan is. Most angustifolias average about 22-24" in mature size, and are slower growing than the lavandins. These also bloom earlier in the season (May/June) and some varieties will rebloom in the fall. In planning, allow about 24 inches of spacing between plants. PLANTS ARE SOLD OUT FOR 2009 - but I will leave the plant descriptions up for reference. ANGUSTIFOLIAS: Dwarf Blue (12-15") also known as Baby Blue, Blue Dwarf, Nana. A compact grower with dense, sometimes untidy growth.Green-gray foliage with dark lavender flowers. Flowers early in the season, hardy and fragrant. SOLD OUT Jean Davis (18") Tight growth habit; makes good edging. Pink flowers. Also known as Pink, Rosea and Loddon pink. In stock. Mailette (18-24") Great for fresh or dried bouquets. Very fragrant. Some use as essential oil. Flowers are a violet/blue/purple, good flowering to length of stem. In stock.

The following angustifolias are AVAILABLE IN LIMITED QUANTITIES, so order immediately if you think you want the following plants. Because of the harsh winter, lavender has been hard to source this year. I was able to get ahold of just a few of the following and had to pay dearly. So the following plants will be priced at $6 each. Folgate (22-24") This is hands-down the hardiest of the lavenders in our experience farming lavender here in mid-Michigan's very unpredictable climate. Folgate is extremely fragrant, has a beautiful blue/lavender color. It makes a lovely dried bouquet, great sachet and is one of the edible lavenders. This is the staple of my lavender, my best producer. Very compact plant, easy to maintain it's mound shape. SOLD OUT Melissa (24-26") A beautiful white lavender, which makes a gorgeous contrast amongst the blues and lavenders in the garden. Melissa is also a great culinary lavender, makes a lovely dried bouquet. Also very hardy and reliable. SOLD OUT Royal Velvet (22-24") This is an all time favorite because of the deep dark purple flower. A hardy lavender that is fairly compact. Rather slow growing, but worth the wait. A must have in every lavender garden. SOLD OUT |
| Lavendula x intermedia (Lavandins) Lavandins grow faster and larger than the angustifolias - averaging 36" across with longer flower stems and more flower buds per stem than angustifolias.

LAVANDINS: Edelweiss (24-30") Also sold as Cathy Blanc, Caty Blanc, White Grosso. Growth habit is much like Grosso. Dense, gray-green foliage with white flowers.
