Positive	felicia014	On Aug 5, 2007, felicia014 from Ridgefield, CT wrote: I bought these kind of small and was disappointed last year with their initial growth. However this spring and summer they have really taken hold. They are not fragrant at all, but are a nice change from the blue/purple lavenders, and since I have a major deer problem I wanted something they wouldn't browse. Very nice little lavender.
Positive	saya	On Jan 9, 2006, saya from Heerlen Netherlands (Zone 8b) wrote: I have 10 year old shrubs in my garden. It needs trimming two times a year: after flowering only a little and late spring after frost has gone again...you can trim it a little harder. Never cut down in the bold wood.. So it stays healthy and bushy. Lavandula x intermedia is a sterile hybrid. Probably from a cross of L. angustifolia and L. latifolia. It contains more oil...so this is the lavendula that is grown in France on the fields.
Positive	philomel	On Oct 15, 2004, philomel from Termes d'Armagnac France (Zone 8a) wrote: This is a sterile hybrid, so no seeds will be produced. This lavendin has a beautiful habit of growth forming a dome of white flowers, worthy of a feature spot in the garden. I have planted it as a hedge in my garden and will be interested to see how it performs It has been known in Europe since 1880 It needs regular pruning to prevent it becoming woody
