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.
Arising from a meticulous breeding program in The Netherlands, this recent, lavishly hued introduction headlines dense, dark violet-blue flowers on short sturdy stems plus one of the most petite, close-knit habits available. Redolent pewter-green foliage shapes the neat valiant mound beneath a show-stopping, summer-long floral profusion. Undeterred by heat, air pollution, 4-legged visitors, winter cold and dry conditions, ‘Super Blue’ makes an all-purpose small-sized addition to knot, kitchen and pollinator gardens. It can also be hedged, grouped or planted as an edging. (pp#24,929)
