Description

In our north central Georgia gardens, the Spanish lavenders have outperformed all other types and varieties, standing up to the hot and humid summers as far south as USDA Zone 9b. 'La Diva Big Night' Lavender is a member of the La Diva Series of Lavender. These have been bred for superior heat and humidity tolerance, great landscape performance, heavy blooming and outstanding fragrance.

'La Diva Big Night' is a breakthrough for Spanish lavenders, because it is the first cross hybrid of  Spanish and English lavender, which gives it the more robust body, durable foliage and cold hardiness (-10F) of English lavender, and the heat and humidity tolerance of Spanish Lavender. It produces very abundant, large and highly fragrant deep inky blue-purple flowers with violet colored ears that are typical of Spanish lavenders. Rising above a dense mound of attractive fragrant grey-green foliage, the flowers come in waves throughout late spring and summer and are excellent for cutting and use in fresh or dried floral arrangements, bouquets and potpourri. La Diva Big Night is a compact variety to only 14 inches tall and maybe 18 inches wide, making it a fine selection for small garden spaces and container gardens. You might be happy to know that deer and rabbits haven't touched this plant in our gardens, and it has demonstrated excellent insect and disease resistance when planted in a sunny spot with well-drained soil.


Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing to 14 inches tall and 18 inches wide, La Diva Big Night Spanish Lavender is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings or mass plantings, or as a low hedge or border in landscape and perennial borders and herb gardens. It has also done well for us in container gardens, which can be overwintered indoors in areas above Zone 7a. A fine selection for herb gardens, perennial gardens, purple theme gardens, cottage gardens, and rock and fragrance gardens.

Suggested Spacing:  12 to 15 inches apart for mass plantings or solid borders; 3 feet apart for space between plants

Growing Preferences

Lavender is easy to grow in a moist to somewhat dry well-drained soil of average to low fertility and plenty of sun. Constantly soggy soil or standing water is problematic, causing root rot. So make sure to plant in a soil that drains well. If desired, the plant can be cut back by one-third its height after flowering to maintain a fuller plant. For example, if your plant is 15 inches tall you can cut it back to 10 inches tall.
