A beautiful plant.... I'm a BIG FAN of lavenders and this is no exception! It's leaves are "greener" than common lavender (still a bluish green though) with a white striped lining each leaf (the edge) very nice.... easily grown.... slightly milder fragrance than common lavender ...... Iwe'll see how it overwinters.... have it in a protected spot....

A sterile hybrid, so produces no seed.
This unusual lavendin has variegated leaves with cream margins which set off the pale purple flowers to perfection.
This sport was discovered at Walburton's nursery in the UK and introduced in 1999. It is protected by Plant Breeders' Rights
