LAVANDULA AUGUSTIFOLIA "LAVENZIE SILVER FOREVER"
English Lavender
"Silver Forever" has masses of beautiful spikes of fragrant violet flowers with deep purple overtones rising above the foliage from early to late summer. This collection was bred for improved branching, intense flower color and hardiness. The deep purple flowers contrasted beautifully with the bright GREEN/GRAY foliage. The flowers are excellent for cutting. It has attractive silver green evergreen foliage. An evergreen perennial, it makes a breathtaking hedge, but also shines as a border accent and even thrives in large containers. This beloved heirloom deserves a place of honor in your sunny, dry landscape.
Reaching 12-16" high and 16-18" wide, 'Silver Forever' is highly aromatic—the foliage makes excellent sachets, potpourri, and more. It is heavenly to brush against in the garden, releasing its scent most strongly when touched.
In midsummer, the foliage is topped by masses of deep purple blooms, very full, rounded, and long lasting. Bees and butterflies are drawn to this plant by the dozen. The classic variety makes wonderful fresh bouquets as well as everlastings. Perfect for hot, dry sites and drought tolerant once established. Great choice for container plantings.
