LAVANDULA x int. Provence

LAVANDULA x int. Provence LAVANDULA x int. Provence

A hybrid of common and spike lavenders has resulted in a lavender suitable for Midwest winters. Provence is taller and more upright plant, often called a spike lavender. The lavender lowers are borne in summer on long spikes and are a lighter shade of purple than the common lavender cultivars. The silver-gray foliage is also quite fragrant. Its growth habit makes it an excellent choice for edging and formal hedges in the knot garden. Lavenders are relatively disease and pest free. Lavenders require a full sun site and excellent drainage in order to successfully overwinter.
