Lavandula X intermedia Provence, commonly known as Provence Lavender, boasts superior fragrance, color, and form. It sends up large spikes of highly fragrant, lavender-blue flowers in the summer. New growth is bright green and matures to a lovely silver color. The flowers are delicious in salads, cakes, tea, and lemonade, or dry them for fragrant potpourri and long-lived bouquets.
This is a compact, upright shrub that reaches 2 to 3 feet tall and wide. Provence Lavender is cold hardy down to zone 5 and more tolerant of heat and humidity than other varieties. It remains evergreen in warmer climates and will die back in the northern zones. The flowers are a magnet for bees, but deer and rabbits tend to ignore it. Plant several Provence Lavender shrubs in a low hedge, or add it to a culinary or herb garden. It can also be grown close by in containers for easy access to fragrant stems.
Provence Lavender Care
This shrub grows best in full sun with good air circulation. It appreciates sandy, poor soil on the alkaline side. This variety tolerates heat and humidity better than most lavender plants. Once established, keep it on the dry side and water only occasionally. Overwatering is the most common cause of death in these plants.
Prune hard into the leafy stems after flowering to prolong the shrub’s life and maintain a tidy, compact appearance. Do not cut into the hard wood or prune after late fall.
Provence Lavender Spacing
To plant a group of lavender, space individual plants approximately 3 feet apart on center to allow good air circulation.For container planting, select a weather-resistant pot at least 20 inches in diameter with excellent drainage.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
