Delightful variety of Lavender forming a lovely shrubby clump with attractive, aromatic grey-green leaves and unusual spikes of dark-purple tubular flowers.

GROWING GUIDE
Sowing Instructions: Can be sown at any time of the year. Sow in pots or trays of moist, well drained seed compost, just covering the seed with a fine sprinkling of compost. After sowing place in a propagator or seal container in a polythene bag and place on a windowsill. Maintain at 21-25C keeping the soil moist and germination should take 21-30 days. If germination does not occur in 6 weeks place the container in a fridge or other cold place for 2 weeks, then return to the warmth. Examine regularly whilst in the fridge and remove immediately if the seeds show signs of germination.
Growing Instructions: Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm pots. Grow on in a cold frame and plant out the following spring 30cm apart in full sun and well drained soil.
