A superior English Lavender that stands up to cold winters, rain tolerance, heat and humidity, and is deer and rabbit resistant and repels mosquitoes, the SuperBlue Lavender lives up to its name. But the "super" attributes don't stop there...'SuperBlue' produces LOADS of the largest, "super" fragrant, rich lavender-blue blooms over a "super" long season; from late spring to early summer all the way into fall. Its flower wands are more densely packed providing more color with fewer airy gaps and more flowers for cutting and use in in fresh or dried flower arrangements. It's shorter stature of 10 to 12 inches tall makes it a perfect fit for smaller garden spaces, containers and edging borders. What's more, the butterflies and beneficial pollinators will give you a super big thanks for planting this one!

Growing only 10 to 12 inches tall and a little wider, SuperBlue Lavender is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings or mass plantings, or a low edging in landscape and perennial borders and herb gardens. It has also done well for us in container gardens, which can be overwintered indoors above Zone 5a. A fine selection for herb gardens, perennial gardens, purple or blue theme gardens, cut flower gardens, cottage gardens, and rock and fragrance gardens.

Outstanding for planting near walkways, decks and patios where scent can be enjoyed. Excellent cut flowers for fresh or dried arrangements. Popular for sachets and potpourri.

Suggested Spacing:  10 inches apart for mass plantings or solid borders; 2 feet or more apart for space between plants

Note:  For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Lavender variety is not winter hardy, you'll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

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. 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 30 inches tall you can cut it back to 20 inches tall.
