Lavandula angustifolia ‘Miss Katherine’ at Digging Dog
Lavender
In the Middle Ages, Lavender was a chief ingredient in the famous “Four Thieves”
vinegar, and today no classic sachet or potpourri would be complete without it.
We use Lavenders in every garden we design. Dependable and drought tolerant, their strikingly handsome flowers, whether white or blue, pink, violet or purple, offer a heady aroma and an upright spiky look, while the foliage forms a pleasing mound during the off season. In the herb garden, border or rockery, they combine well with grasses, perennials or other shrubs. If the plants are cut back in late June, many cultivars will produce a second bloom in autumn.

A hard-to-find English cultivar, ‘Miss Katherine’ is unquestionably the most exquisite pink flowering Lavender available. The long spindle-like blooms are colored a soft lilac-pink that’s brushed with lively red-violet tints. Held on tall, upright stems, they brighten the dense, shapely mound of gray-green foliage. Let a drift of this alluring and fragrant Lavender grace your herb garden.
Blooms June–July. Size: 2-1/4' high x 2' wide; hardy to zone 5. Lavandula angustifolia Miss Katherine (S-0434) Each $7.00
