LAVANDULA ANGUSTIFOLIAS
BUENA VISTA
Introduced by Dr. Don Roberts. This variety dries well if harvested before the buds open, suitable for crafting and bouquets as well as culinary. A vibrant violet-blueberry bloom. Growth is not as compact as other cultivars.
ELLAGANCE PURPLE
Strongly scented, bushy, compact Lavendula angustifolia plant with silvery green foliage. Flower spikes of deep bluish purple blooms. Great as a hedge, in containers or in herb gardens where they can feed butterflies. Lovely fragrance, cold hardy. Height 12-14".
FOLGATE
One of the earliest blooming angustifolias. Small to medium habitat with gray-green foliage and soft violet-blue blooms. The oil has a sweet floral note with very little camphor and it withstands colder temperatures. We use it for bouquets and it can also be used for culinary.
GRAVES
This cultivar of English lavender is taller than others and is one of the original cultivars of lavender. Very productive with nice upright stems - nice for fresh and dried flowers - the color is a true violet. Tends to bloom longer than most during the growing season.
HIDCOTE PINK
A medium bushy plant with grey-green foliage. One of the best pink-flowered cultivars for ornamental purposes - quite striking when planted en masse. The aroma is sweetly fragrant - we occasionally process for oil and use in our Angustifolia blend.
HIDCOTE BLUE
An English cultivar supposedly traced back to Hidcote Manor. Small semi-bushy plant, with vibrant purple buds. We primarily use it for culinary and bouquets.
MAILLETTE
A very attractive cultivar with violet blooms that is medium sized and is suitable for ornamental plantings. It's also a great oil producer and is one of the highest Angustifolia producers - one of our favorites.
MELISSA
The aroma of this plant is very sweet and fragrant, fantastic for culinary use. The delicate soft-lavender pink flowers are formed on a medium plant with bushy habit. Introduced by Andrew Van Hevelingen in Newberg, Oregon.
MISS KATHERINE
A semi-tall plant with gray-green foliage. Spikes are long and lilac-pink in color. Excellent for use in a border or to contrast with a darker purple plant.
MUNSTEAD
A small, tidy bush with violet buds and spikes that are medium to long. This fragrant plant is well suited for ornamental use and continues to be a good oil producer. Propagated from cuttings to keep a true strain. Very hardy for Zone 5 weather.
ROYAL VELVET
A small to medium plant with semi-gray green foliage and dark violet calyces. A striking cultivar introduced by Andrew Van Hevelingen in Newberg, Oregon. Royal Velvet has longer stems and is excellent for dried floral bouquets and is also great for culinary uses. This is one of our best selling cultivars.
SHARON ROBERTS
Introduced by Dr Don Roberts in Independence, Oregon. This medium, bushy plant produces bright violet-blue buds which are very fragrant, on spikes that are medium to long, and suitable for crafting or culinary uses.
VIOLET INTRIGUE
Upright bushy, semi-tall plant with impressive violet-blue color. Suitable for ornamental or mass plantings, beautifully contrasted with a deep blue or purple lavender. This is a very popular english variety.
LAVENDULA X.INTERMEDIAS
ABRIALII
Bushy and semi-tall, lateral branching is long with elegant, bright violet-blue spikes. Popular as an oil, fragrant or ornamental plant - one of our favorites. Works beautifully for lavender wands and bouquets.
CATHY BLANC
An extremely large, white lavandin - beautiful for contrast plantings with other purple lavenders. Similar to Alba, a white flowered lavandin cultivar. Beautiful planted en masse against darker colored lavenders. Growth is compact - we also use this variety in our bouquets.
GROS BLEU
Rich, vibrant purple color and long stems, good for bouquets. This variety has a clean scent and does not fade when dried making it great for bouquets.
GROSSO
Grosso Lavender is a French hybrid lavender, commonly referred to as the “Lavender grown in France”. A vigorous plant, this is our "work horse" for oil production. A very large plant with mid-green foliage and medium purple blooms. Very fragrant - dries well for ornamental or crafting purposes. Many people prefer the slightly sharp camphorous aroma that makes Grosso oil distinctive.
PROVENCE
Beautiful soft violet flowers with light purple highlights, a very prolific bloomer. Use for fresh-cut, as well as fragrant dried buds. Flower aroma is both powerful and sweet. This plant lacks much of the camphor overtones of other lavandins and therefore can be used as a culinary lavender. Reminiscent of the South of France where the majority of this variety is grown.
SUPER
This variety is highly fragrant, featuring extra-long stems and large dark violet flower heads. It is very resilient with a bushy growth pattern, reaching up to 24 inches in height, and is often used for oil extraction.
