Lavandula
‘Silver Frost’
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.

Etched in frosted winter whites, this alluring angustifolia and lanata descendent is perhaps the most effulgent silver-foliaged lavender we offer. Its dense, downy soft mound supports a profusion of plump flowers heads with dark purple corollas and snowy violet-blue calyxes. A Van Hevelingen Nursery introduction, ‘Silver Frost’s good-sized form conveys an uplifting brilliance to the landscape at any time of year.
Blooms July–August. Size: 2'–2-1/2' high x 2' wide; hardy to zone 6. Lavandula Silver Frost (S-0608)

Customer Comment:
“Thank you for your continued great service and excellent plants.... all the plants arrived in perfect condition. Healthy, and ready to bloom...the primrose produced a beautiful flower, just two weeks after arrival! We have always been impressed with the careful packaging, size and hardiness of your plant stock. We ordered Alstroemeria many years ago that have flowered every year, and are more beautiful with time. Thanks again!”
