Lavandula angustifolia (English Lavender) - Distinguished from other lavenders by its long thin leaves, Lavandula angustifolia forms a much branched shrub about 2-3 feet tall with mid-summer blooming stalks of pale lavender-blue flowers reaching 1-2 feet above the foliage. It does best in the full sun and has low water needs. This is the hardiest of all lavenders and it can tolerate temperatures below 15 degrees F. Our crops of this lavender are from seed. Reportedly, the blooms are edible. We grew this species from 1993 until 2006.  Information displayed on this page about  Lavandula angustifolia is based on the research conducted about it in our library and from reliable online resources. We also note those observations we have made of this plant as it grows in the nursery's garden and in other gardens, as well how crops have performed in our nursery field. We will incorporate comments we receive from others, and welcome to hear from anyone who may have additional information, particularly if they share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
