Notes

'Blue Imp.' lavender (Lavandula angustifolia 'Blue Imp.') is a plant for borders, hedges, rock gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy or loamy soil. Blooms open from early to late summer. The fragrant flowers draw butterflies and bees, and the evergreen foliage stays on the plant through the year.

Pairs well with Lamb’s ear, Purple Coneflower coneflower, Coralbells, and Japanese forest grass.
