Lavandula angustifolia ‘Premier’
at Digging Dog

Lavandula

Lavender

In the Middle Ages, Lavender was a chief ingredient in the famous “Four Thieves” vinegar, and today no classic sachet or potpourri would be complete without it.

We use Lavenders in every garden we design. Dependable and drought tolerant, their strikingly handsome flowers, whether white or blue, pink, violet or purple, offer a heady aroma and an upright spiky look, while the foliage forms a pleasing mound during the off season. In the herb garden, border or rockery, they combine well with grasses, perennials or other shrubs. If the plants are cut back in late June, many cultivars will produce a second bloom in autumn.

For its tall graceful stems, unique airy blooms and handsome medium size, this repeat bloomer earns its “premier” status. Spaced whorls distinguished by large violet corollas and darkly purple calyxes ride high above a well-mannered sea of gray-green leaves.

Developed by Lavender authority, Dr. Don Roberts from Oregon, ‘Premier’s long-stalked plushly colored blooms make sterling additions to cut arrangements or a mixed dry garden planting with companions like Salvia ‘Pacific Blue’ and Cistus ‘Jessamy Beauty’.

Blooms June – July.

Size: 2' high x 2-1/2' wide; hardy to zone 5.
