Why you need this plant:        Surely the best Lavender available to date. More disease-resistant, longer bloom time. Bold foliage has a silver-grey texture.  A taller form of traditional Lavender, 'Provence' blooms in the Spring where as the other varieties bloom in Summer to Fall.  This scented perennial thrives in any sunny location and tolerates drought.  Desired for its mass of blooms and wonderful scented foliage.

 
Planting Info:       These plants prefer full sun and fertile, well-drained soil.  They will thrive in both acid and alkaline soils.  A versatile perennial that works well in border plantings or on hillsides, anywhere where the sun shines and soil drains well.  After blooming, shear back spent blooms to encourage foliar growth.  Used as a cut flower.
