Description

Lavandula 'Goodwin Creek Gray' is an evergreen shrub. This dense foliaged plant grows to 2.5'-3' high and 3'-4' wide. Foliage is silvery grey that are toothed at the tips. Deep violet-blue flowers appear above foliage from spring to late fall. This fragrant plant does best in full sun with well draining, alkaline soil. It needs regular watering when getting established, then occasional and then extra during hot spells. Flowers are great for bouquets and vase arrangements. This plant looks great in rock gardens, borders and containers.

Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
