Notes
Javelin forte white Spanish lavender (Lavandula stoechas) is a shrub for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and rock 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. Purple blooms open in early to late spring and again in early to late summer. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Butterflies and bees visit the fragrant flowers.
