| Positive | CBernard | On Jul 4, 2009, CBernard from Perris, CA (Zone 9a) wrote: Spanish Lavender 'Otto Quast" is quite a bit smaller than the Lavandula dentata and a hybrid that I have that is culinary. However, the flowers are so beautiful. Also, it seems to tolerate more water than my other lavenders. I am keeping this plant in my garden as long as I can. | | Positive | pamsaplantin | On May 27, 2008, pamsaplantin from Morgantown, WV (Zone 6a) wrote: I believe Otto Quast is hardier than indicated above. I planted it last summer here in zone 6a. It was in a totally exposed area (very windy) & had only about 1" of mulch around the plant. It overwintered just fine & is starting to bloom now. | | Positive | DawnRain | On Mar 21, 2005, DawnRain from Bartow, FL wrote: I was given this seed by a fellow in England. I did not expect much but the seeds came up and were potted. They survived the flooding and 3 hurricanes of last year and are nice looking plants now. I love to brush the foliage and enjoy the scent. Maybe I can hope for blooms this year. | | Positive | PudgyMudpies | On Mar 20, 2005, PudgyMudpies from Stockton, CA (Zone 9a) wrote: I grow this in a pot with Lavandula multifida (French Lace Lavender) and while the French Lace rarely survives the winter, the Spanish Lavender stays evergreen. I highly recommend it for its beauty, I find it MUCH more interesting then the French Lace, but I notice that the hummingbirds and carpenter bees are not really interested in it like they are the French Lace. | | Positive | hanna1 | On Feb 22, 2005, hanna1 from Castro Valley, CA (Zone 9a) wrote: Considered the most unusual of the Lavenders, Dark purple flowers with long pinkish petals. Earlier blooming than others. Hardy, easy care. Masses of vibraant color with a heady aroma. Thrives in almost any soil, including dense clay. Larger flower than var. pedunculata. I planted mine 1 1/2 year ago, has no bloomed yet, getting bushy, waiting for summer, Annie | | Neutral | smiln32 | On May 9, 2004, smiln32 from Oklahoma City, OK (Zone 7a) wrote: Origin: Mediterranean - The flowers of this lavender are not recommended for human consumption. |
