This is a Lavandula x intermedia form obtained by crossing L. angustifolia ssp. angustifolia and L. latifolia. 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.
