Notes
'Platinum Blonde' lavender (Lavandula angustifolia 'Platinum Blonde') is an herb for borders, rock gardens, cut flowers, 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 rarely make it their first choice. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit the fragrant flowers, and light shearing in early spring and after flowering keeps it tidy.
Pairs well with Yarrow, Rosemary, and Alina rose.
