Description

Lavandula 'Goodwin Creek Gray' is an evergreen shrub. This dense foliaged plant grows to 2.5'-3' high and 3'-4' wide. Foliage is silvery grey that are toothed at the tips. Deep violet-blue flowers appear above foliage from spring to late fall. This fragrant plant does best in full sun with well draining, alkaline soil. It needs regular watering when getting established, then occasional and then extra during hot spells. Flowers are great for bouquets and vase arrangements. This plant looks great in rock gardens, borders and containers.

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
