This is a great little dwarf that I've had for two years now. It has not exceeded one foot in either direction. It stays nicely compact, and does not get "leggy", (like the regular Spanish Lavender can...)
Although the main size of the lavender is dwarf, the leaves and the flowers are still their regular size.
It is the perfect lavender for small spaces, or small gardens, and is small enough it can be planted at the front of a border.
This prefers sharp drainage, or at the very least plant it on a small mound for run-off, or in a place that gets infrequent waterings. These die quickly from "wet feet".
They love full, hot baking sun, and will tolerate only a few hours of shade.
