Lavandula angustifolia ‘Twickel Purple’

Lavender is an old fashioned plant with a long history as a fragrant herb, but always appreciated for its showy spikes of flowers and attractive gray leaves. This selection features spikes of deep purple flowers. Plants are technically evergreen shrubs , but may need some winter protection in colder regions. Lavender also demands very good drainage and will perish in heavy, wet clay soils. Plants should be sheared lightly after blooming, or in early spring before new growth starts. Drought tolerant, once established.
