Pacific Blue is a beautiful ornamental, oil and hedging lavender. Around 1990 imported by Peter Smale from France into New Zealand. A good addition to the Angustifolia range of English lavenders. A bushy round shrub bearing a profusion of long, 7 -10 cm, fragrant bright violet blue flower spikes.
Its oil is many times gold medal awarded.
A good professional performer!
