Notes

'Little Lottie' lavender (Lavandula angustifolia 'Little Lottie') is an herb for borders, hedges, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Bees and butterflies visit the fragrant flowers, which open in early to late spring and again in early to late summer. The evergreen plant grows 12 to 24 inches tall.

Pairs well with Lamb’s ear, Coneflower, and Silver feather grass.
