PRO TIP: EXTEND YOUR SEASON WITH LAVENDER!
Spring into the Season with Spanish Lavender Kick off your Lavender season in early Spring with Spanish Lavender varieties, including two NEW Butterfly Garden™ varieties: NEW Plum Perfect and NEW Poppin’ Pink . They are hardy to Zone 6, perform very well in landscapes and bloom throughout Spring and into early Summer. Lavender Primavera is the All-Season Performer An exception in the Spanish Lavender class is Lavender Primavera, which does not require cool treatment to flower. Primavera features Spanish Lavender characteristics as a tender perennial with Zone-7 hardiness and strong performance well into Summer. With Primavera as a season extender, growers and retailers can offer a versatile Spanish Lavender for Fall programs, Christmas and Valentine’s Day. English Lavenders are for Warmer Days As days get longer, transition your program to English Lavenders, such as ‘SuperBlue’ and ‘Annet,’ to cover your potpourri needs. And, because most English Lavender are first-year-flowering perennials, scheduling for targeted sales dates is easy! Some varieties will cycle out of flower in the southern Summer heat; however, many of these Zone 5-hardy varieties flower all season in North American regions, making them ideal as landscape plants!
