Lavandula 'Grappenhall'

046-024 Lavandula 'Grappenhall' ( Lavender )
Joy Creek Photo Archive (c) all rights reserved	There is some question about the authenticity of Lavandula 'Grappenhall'. What we grow in the garden is obviously an intermediate cross between L. angustifolia and L. latifolia. This large shrub anchors a corner along our Mediterranean Path. The fragrant and very long wands are excellent for cutting. Summer. 3 ft. x 5 ft. Blue Purple flowers *Sun Zones 5, 6, 7, 8*
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.
