Lavandula angustifolia ‘Spear Blue’ Description

Lavandula angustifolia ‘Spear Blue’ forms a compact evergreen mound of narrow aromatic grey-green foliage topped by upright blue to purple flower spikes in summer. Its tidy habit makes it useful in gravel gardens, along paths and in containers where the flowers can be appreciated at close range. Bees and other pollinating insects visit the nectar-rich blooms readily. Grow in full sun in neutral to alkaline soil with excellent drainage. Established plants tolerate dry conditions well but dislike heavy, saturated winter ground. This is particularly important in wetter Irish gardens, where raised planting may improve longevity. Trim the spent flower stems after blooming and lightly shape the foliage, always leaving green growth below the cut and avoiding severe pruning into old woody stems.
