Notes
'Miss Katherine' lavender (Lavandula angustifolia 'Miss Katherine') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and containers. 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. Soft pink flowers sit above grey-green leaves and attract bees and butterflies. Norfolk Lavender bred this larger English type.
Pairs well with Blue fescue, Creeping thyme, and Knock Out rose.
