This selection of French lavender has long stems that are wonderful for cutting and produces narrow, lavender blue flower spikes that are often picked to make tea or lemonade, cookies and cakes, and other sweets. Its fragrance is intense but sweet, not spicy.
Lavandula x intermedia'Provence' forms a large shrub and is often used en masse to form a low hedge. In warmer climates, the plant grows much larger than in the northern limits of its hardiness zone where winter dieback is sometimes experienced. It returns year after year from the rootstock in northern zones, but may be evergreen in the south.
This is the most fragrant variety of lavender for making fresh or dried bouquets, lavender wands, potpourri, or for culinary delights. 'Provence' is more tolerant of damp (but not waterlogged) winter soil.
Ten (10) plants in quart containers per flat (or tray).
