The more compact form and attractive fine cut foliage are complimented with light mauve blue flower spikes throughout the summer. Plant in a pot and consider putting under cold glass in winter or plant is well drained sunny sheltered spot to maximise the chance of winter survival.
Cultivation tips: This low growing lavender requires a well drained fertile garden soil, being especially suited to chalky soils. Plant in full sun in sheltered areas - preferably south facing and be prepared to provide protection in cold spells as this variety is not as hardy as other lavender. Trim flower shoots after flowering, prune last years growth to shape in spring.
