The SuperBlue English Lavender or Lavandula angustifolia provides a lot of color in a limited space. Tiny bluish-purple flowers bloom in clusters on top of flower spikes that reach about one foot in height. The flowers bloom from spring into summer and provide a bold pop of color. Green lance-shaped foliage anchors the plant. The light fragrance of the flowers adds to the appeal of this perennial in a landscape. 

Lavender is right at home in a cottage- or meadow-inspired garden. This plant is a good choice for a border or the middle of a mixed planting. Create a stunning mass planting or container arrangement where SuperBlue can take on the role of filler. Trim the flowers to use in arrangements or dry them for long-term use. Pollinators like bees also enjoy the dainty flowers. This beautiful plant grows in zones 5 through 8.

SuperBlue English Lavender Care

Plant Lavender in full sun in slightly alkaline, well-drained soil. Lavender cannot tolerate damp conditions, so drainage is vital. This drought-tolerant plant needs water after planting and during a dry spell once established. Fertilizer is not necessary, but a layer of organic compost can be applied in early spring.

Give the plant a light prune in late summer after the flowers fade. A summer pruning may encourage another flush of flowers, so trim again in the fall after the final blooms fade. Avoid cutting back into bare wood.
