Find Your Growing Zone!

The traditional color and soothing fragrance you'd expect of this classic garden perennial, Avignon Early Blue Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia 'PAS1213797') conjures a sense of tranquility with their heightened color and intensified fragrance.

The wondrously fragrant flowers are deep violet-blue with violet petals. Early Blue grows much better in cool conditions, so it will be absolutely covered in flower spikes beginning in mid-spring, weeks before other Lavender, and last well into the summer. Hardy throughout USDA growing zones 6 to 8.

Fuzzy foliage creates a delicate, dense mound, and the fragrant, sage-green leaves are handsome backdrops for the blooms. Butterflies, Hummingbirds and Bees flock to these blooms, but no need to worry about deer and bunnies.

How to Use Early Blue Lavender In The Landscape

Elegant as drifts, or mass plantings that conjure the serene pastoral French countryside. Lavender is lovely in a 'Garden of the Senses', or any mixed bed, lending a classic charm and feel! A robust edible herb, Early Blue is a workhorse in the Culinary garden and isn't all looks and scent, but also aromatic flavor! Plus its usefulness in crafts, both fresh and dried décor, is as broad as your imagination.

Lavender is at home in English and Cottage borders as it is in Cutting and Pollinator gardens! Plus a lovely cut flower or both fresh and dried bouquets. Formal gardens benefit from the straight lines and neat, tidy appearance, while its love for dryer conditions makes Avignon Lavender great in the Rock Garden.

The purple-blue flowers are a great thriller in containers, making it easy to keep the fragrance close by. Extend your growing season by bringing Early Blue indoors for the winter in a pot with good drainage in a protected sunny location.

#ProPlantTips For Care

Early Blue perfumes the landscape as a strong stemmed perennial in cooler climates or an annual in cold winters below zone 6. While those gardeners in the warmest growing zones, can enjoy Early Blue Lavender as a small, broad-leaved evergreen shrub.

For best results, it must be in full sun. Thriving in the heat and high humidity, Lavender lives for the hot weather. Like all English Lavenders, it prefers well-drained soil with low moisture once it is established. However, can tolerate poor soils. The root system does poorly in soggy conditions. Even containers require fast drainage.
