Lavandula x heterophylla (Lavender) - This is a very upright-growing, green linear-foliaged shrub, growing to 4 feet tall by as wide. Dark violet-blue flower spikes rise one to two feet above the green foliage. The fine and narrow blooms are arranged in whorls on the stems. This is a very reliable bloomer. It is hardy to 20 ° F. Current thought is that this plant may actually be L. x allardii as the true L. x heterophylla is shorter and has dentate lower leaves with smooth upper ones. Either way, this plant is one of the toughest lavenders that we grow. The flowers of this lavender are not recommended for human consumption.
