An attractive plant for garden, terrace and balcony
Lavender Blue Dwarf, also known as Lavandula angustifolia 'Blue Dwarf', is an attractive lavender variety that is characterised by its compact size and wonderful grey-green foliage. One of the most remarkable features of Lavender Blue Dwarf is its small size. This plant usually reaches a height of about 30 cm and a diameter of 45 cm. This compact size makes it ideal for smaller gardens, balconies or terraces as it does not take up much space. In addition, it is a good choice for a potted planting and other containers as it thrives well in containers due to its small size and drought-loving nature.
Attractive features of the Lavender Blue Dwarf
The foliage of Lavender Blue Dwarf is another attractive feature of this variety. The leaves are narrow and lanceolate and have a beautiful grey-green colour that remains all year round. When the plant flowers, numerous fragrant, purple flowers appear on the flower stems. These flowers attract pollinating insects such as bees and butterflies and create a wonderful floral backdrop. Like other lavender varieties, Lavender Blue Dwarf prefers sunny and well-drained sites with well-draining soil. The plant is drought tolerant and only needs occasional watering to thrive. Cutting the plant back after flowering in late summer or early autumn can help to encourage growth and flower production the following year.
Lavender Blue Dwarf a versatile plant
Lavender Blue Dwarf is a very versatile plant. As well as its use in gardens and landscapes, it can also be used as a cut flower for fresh or dried flower arrangements. The flowers and foliage add a beautiful texture and fragrance to any arrangement. When caring for Lavender Blue Dwarf, it is important to regularly remove the spent foliage and flower spikes to encourage growth and flower production. It is also important to protect the plant from moisture and waterlogging, as this can promote disease and fungal infections.
Overall, Lavender Blue Dwarf is a wonderful addition to any garden or landscape project that requires an attractive and low maintenance plant. Not only does this variety offer a beautiful floral display and a lovely fragrance, but it also has an attractive evergreen structure that remains all year round.
