Lavandula angustifolia Blue Cushion

Dwarf English Lavender

USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.315.050

(='Schola') Lavender is actually a low-growing shrub, native to the Mediterranean region. The fragrant flowers and foliage make it a favourite for herb gardens and in the perennial border. Will also grow fine in tubs or containers, but in colder regions the plants may then need shelter for the winter. This dwarf selection has grey-green foliage and deep lavender-blue flowers over a long season. Prune lightly in early spring, no harder than 4 inches. Lavender MUST have good drainage in order to avoid root rot problems. Introduced by Blooms of Bressingham®.
