New Lavender Site

I found a great website devoted to Lavender!

Mountain Valley Growers sells an assortment of organic herbs. The variety of Lavender that's available is astounding! I can't wait to begin planting next spring. You can bet I'll include as many varieties as possible in my garden next year!

Let me list the varieties:

• Spanish Lavender: dark purple, pineapple-shaped flowers. May be referred to as French Lavender.
• Kew Red Spanish Lavender: smaller with medium pink flowers.
• Yellow Lavender: pineapple-shaped flowers with a lemon chiffon top bracts. The leaves are pungently scented and the plant grows tall and wide.
• Sweet Lavender: Largest and fastest growing with the longest flower wands.
• French Lavender: traditional gray leaves. This is a large, fast growing shrub which is also referred to as everblooming Lavender.
• Goodwin Creek Gray Lavender: hybrid of French Lavender with a shorter growth and darker flowers.
• Woolly Lavender: gray foliage and dark purple flowers that loves the heat of summer.
• Pinnata Lavender: zone 10 that grows fast with long flower wands and twisted spiral shaped flowers.
