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.
ANGUSTIFOLIAS:
Buena Vista (18"-24") Long stemmed for an angustifolia. Very dark flowers, which sometimes bloom all summer (weather conditions and sun permitting) Sold out
Folgate (18"-24") This is hands-down the hardiest lavender that I have worked with in the 12 years I've been growing lavender in mid-Michigan. It has a wonderfully compact shrub growth with narrow gray-green leaves. A bright blue color introduced into Britain prior to 1933. A very fragrant lavender that is also a great culinary lavender. Wonderful for dried bundles. Sold out
Lodden Blue (12"-18") Semi-dwarf with 6"-8" deep lavender flower spikes. Compact tight foliage and one of the earliest to bloom. Beautiful!
Martha Roderick. (18"-24") Bright violet flowers in late June through July. Compact growth with beautiful mounding habit. Very sweet fragrance and is excellent choice for landscaping, culinary and sachets. Foliage color is a lovely blue/green that reminds me of a pine tree - wonderful landscape plant and adds lovely diversity to the lavender garden. Sold out
Royal Purple (24"-30") Highly valued for its dark purple flowers on long stalks in late summer. Ideal for sachet and culinary purposes. Sold out
Royal Velvet (18"-20") This plant has compact grey foliage and 12"-14" flower spikes, making it one of the most desirable angustifolias for landscapes and bouquets. Both flower and bud are very dark and velvet-like. A must for the lavender collector. Sold out
Sharon Roberts (20"-24") Long bloom time and can bloom from June through October under good weather conditions. Very fragrant. These plants are looking spectacular in the green house this spring. Sold out
Tuckers Early (22") Dark flower buds and dark blue flowers that bloom often throughout the summer.One of the earliest flowers to bloom and will usually rebloom. Fragrant and can be used as a container plant. 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. They tend to bloom in late June/July and sometimes into August, depending on the season. In planning your garden, allow about 36 inches of spacing between plants.Less hardy than angustifolias but can grow in Michigan. Will suffer more if extreme cold conditions and not protected (snow cover is best!). If planting in Michigan, will do better on south side - especially if up against a building or wall and not exposed to as much wind.
LAVANDINS:
Gros Bleu (30") Very dark flower with stems that are 15"-22" long. Very fragrant.
Grosso(24-30") Compact plant, tight silvery foliage. Produces long stems of fat, dark violet flower spikes. Very popular plant for both oil production and dried flowers. Very popular plant for the home garden and the commercial lavender grower. Wonderful in sachets as well.
Provence (24-36") Strong grower, long stems of fragrant, mauve flowers. Easy to grow and a very popular lavender. A wonderful culinary lavender. Very fragrant, more sweet smelling than other lavandins. Sold out
Super (24"-36") A commercial cultivar raised for oil production in France. Beautiful foliage with long sprays of violet-blue flowers in midsummer. Sweet and not camphorous. This has been the HARDIEST of the lavandins in our gardens, so I would recommend this plant to those who desire a very large growing lavender plant that offers tall flower spikes but live in a more marginal climate.
White Spike (36") A beautiful pure white flowering lavender, with long flower spikes of 14"-16" that bloom July through September (when weather conditions are good). White is wonderful for mixing in bouquets and is good both fresh and dried.
