Lavandula
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. Dependable and drought tolerant, their strikingly handsome flowers, offer a heady aroma and an upright spiky look, while the foliage forms a pleasing year-round mound. 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.
We favor this Lavender for its vibrant colored blooms. Topping grayish green, somewhat relaxed stems, opulent violet petals and fuzzy dark purple calyces form a broadly cylindrical head distinguished by a separate whorl of flowers at its base. A well-formed, midsized gray-green bush, ‘Imperial Gem’ makes a dazzling impression, especially when planted in drifts.
