Lavandula angustifolia 'Blue Spear'

Lavender is a heat tolerant perennial that produces fragrant flowers in midsummer. This mounding plant is great for the front of a border in a sunny garden bed in well draining soil. Lavender is a favorite food source for pollinators. For growers in colder climates, consider waiting until spring to prune and shape the plant, for more reliable winter survival. Lavenders in this collection require vernalization to flower, which means they need to experience winter to initiate flowering. Plants planted this year will flower next summer. Lavender Blue Spear is a compact variety that reaches 12" tall. One of the finest English Lavenders, the dense and upright flowers make a big impact from a distance. Hardy in Zones 6-8.
