  • Description

  • Notes

This lavender is half the size of the standard angustifolia, it flowers early and has a more intense flower color than most of the species. Its foliage and flowers are good for sachets. This is a perfect choice for smaller scale situations. It is drought tolerant and attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. Very aromatic. An excellent cut flower, for vases or sachets; the foliage dries well and may be used for sachets or cooking.
