White French Lavender

Spikes of pure white flowers, topped with distinctive flag-like tufts from late spring to summer and grey-green, aromatic leaves. This compact white French lavender makes an attractive, fragrant edging for a sunny, protected border. In frost-prone areas it is best grown as a pot-plant and moved indoors at the beginning of autumn. As it's borderline hardy it is best grown in a container in colder areas of the country and should be over-wintered in a cool greenhouse or conservatory.Position: full sunSoil: fertile, well-drained soilRate of growth: averageFlowering period: June and JulyFlower colour: pure whiteOther features: the aromatic flowers and leaves can be used for making pot-pourriHardiness: borderline hardy Garden care: Cut back the stalks after the flowers have faded.
