| Lavender Plants for 2008 are shipping as of mid-May. Unfortunately this was not a good season for lavender cultivation. My grower tells me it is the worse season she's experienced in 23 years of providing quality lavender. Therefore, the offerings this year are slim, and precious. Be sure to order early, because once we are out, that is all that will be available this season. Plant descriptions are below for your reference. If there are any particular plants you know you want, I can reserve them for you. |
| Plants are still just $5.00 each (a few are $6). Shipping is by priority mail and is additional. For information about how to place an order, please email us or phone 989/832-4908. To ship plants you must provide us with a credit card (Visa or M/C) since shipping can't be figured until plants are boxed. Minimum plant order for shipping is 6 plants. . |
| Lavendula angustifolia- these plants are hardy to zone 5, which is what our growing zone here in mid-Michigan is. Most angustifolias average about 22-24" in mature size, and are slower growing than the lavandins. These also bloom earlier in the season (May/June) and some varieties will rebloom in the fall. In planning, allow about 24 inches of spacing between plants. ANGUSTIFOLIAS available 2008: Dwarf Blue (12-15") also known as Baby Blue, Blue Dwarf, Nana. A compact grower with dense, sometimes untidy growth.Green-gray foliage with dark lavender flowers. Flowers early in the season, hardy and fragrant. SOLD OUT Lavenite Petite (18") Compact plant with medium purple flowers. A new offering this year! The following angustifolias are AVAILABLE IN LIMITED QUANTITIES, so order immediately if you think you want the following plants. Because of the harsh winter, lavender has been hard to source this year. I was able to get ahold of just a few of the following and had to pay dearly. So the following plants will be priced at $6 each. Folgate (22-24") This is hands-down the hardiest of the lavenders in our experience farming lavender here in mid-Michigan's very unpredictable climate. Folgate is extremely fragrant, has a beautiful blue/lavender color. It makes a lovely dried bouquet, great sachet and is one of the edible lavenders. This is the staple of my lavender, my best producer. Very compact plant, easy to maintain it's mound shape. SOLD OUT Melissa (24-26") A beautiful white lavender, which makes a gorgeous contrast amongst the blues and lavenders in the garden. Melissa is also a great culinary lavender, makes a lovely dried bouquet. Also very hardy and reliable.s Royal Velvet (22-24") This is an all time favorite because of the deep dark purple flower. A hardy lavender that is fairly compact. Rather slow growing, but worth the wait. A must have in every lavender garden. SOLD OUT |
| Lavendula x intermedia (Lavandins) Lavandins grow faster and larger than the angustifolias - averaging 36" across with longer flower stems and more flower buds per stem than angustifolias. They tend to bloom in late June/July and sometimes into August, depending on the season. In planning your garden, allow about 36 inches of spacing between plants. LAVANDINS available 2008: Dilly Dilly - said to be the same as "true Grosso." Has a larger flower than Fat Spike Grosso. Edelweiss (24-30") Also sold as Cathy Blanc, Caty Blanc, White Grosso.

Very popular plant for both oil production and dried flowers. Very popular plant for the home garden and the commercial lavender grower. Our best seller.
