Notes
'Fairy Wings' javelin forte white Spanish lavender (Lavandula stoechas 'Fairy Wings') is a perennial for borders, rock gardens, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy or loamy soil. It forms a grey-green mound with long pink bracts. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Bees and butterflies visit the fragrant blooms, and James Compton bred it in the UK.
Pairs well with Pineapple sage, Statice, Lion's tail, and Mondo grass.
