046-093 Lavandula 'Fiona English' ( Lavender )
Joy Creek Photo Archive (c) all rights reserved	We have grown Lavandula 'Fiona English' in a rain-only bed for the last two years and it has proven to be a trooper. Purple buds open to reveal lavender blue flowers that have a slightly pink cast. The floral heads are quite long (almost 3.5 inches) as are the stems (almost 20 inches). The flowers are very fragrant. Matte green leaves are gray on their undersides. June. 20 in. x 24 in. Lavender flowers *Sun Zones 5, 6, 7, 8*
This is a cultivar of Lavandula angustifolia. Lavenders need full sun and very good drainage. Because of our rainy winters, we amend our soil with 1/4 ten gravel and top dress with the same to keep plant stems and foliage from resting on wet soil.
