Notes
'Nana Alba' lavender (Lavandula angustifolia 'Nana Alba') is a perennial for borders, containers, rock gardens, and cottage 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. White flowers appear from early to late summer and attract bees and butterflies. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. The compact mound stays small, so it suits tight spaces.
Pairs well with Lamb’s ear, Blue fescue, and Purple Coneflower coneflower.
