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.
The information about Lavandula x heterophylla displayed on this page is based on research conducted in our nursery library and from online sources we consider reliable. We will also relate those observations made of this plant as it grows in our nursery gardens and in other gardens that we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone who has additional information, particularly when they share cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
