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.  Information displayed on this page about  Lavandula x heterophylla 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.
