This is a neatly conforming lavender plant for summer perennial beds. The foliage is aromatic; the color starts out as bright green but ages to a gray green. Flower stems are short with a vibrant violet color. This lavender blooms all summer and mounds to about 2' tall and 2' wide. Flowers are also fragrant and make great dried flower arrangements.

Water Saving Tip:

In shrub areas, convert from spray sprinklers to bubbler or drip systems that apply water directly to roots.

Occasionally check the soil's moisture level around shrubs before and after watering to determine if watering times are appropriate.
