Pastor's Pride Lavender

Lavandula angustifolia 'Pastor's Pride'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Shrub
Plant Family: Lamiaceae
Plant Description: This twice-blooming English lavender has shown excellent cold tolerance. The purple-blue blossoms are large for lavender and bloom on spikes through the summer. The flowers can be deadheaded and dried and used in potpourri or herbal recipes. Deadheading will also promote a late-summer rebloom. It thrives in poor soils and can be quite drought tolerant.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Shrub - Evergreen
Plant Care: Shrub - Evergreen (woody multi-stemmed plants that keep their leaves and color during winter): Only minimal pruning is required and mostly to retain a desirable shape. Pruning should be done in early spring. Monitor for pests, diseases or other ailments on a regular basis.
