Joy Creek Photo Archive (c) all rights reserved	This excellent late bloomer has extended the lavender flowering in our no-water border. We have paired it with Helicrysum tianshianicum which mirrors it in scale and foliage size but with silver white leaves. The gray green leaves of 'Fragrant Memories' smell of camphor when brushed. Flowering stems are 12-15 inches in length with floral heads at least 4 inches long. July and August. 18 in. x 36 in. Medium Violet Blue flowers *Sun Zones 6-9*
This is a cultivar of Lavandula angustifolia. Lavenders need full sun and very good drainage. Because of our rainy winters, we amend our soil with 1/4 ten gravel and top dress with the same to keep plant stems and foliage from resting on wet soil.
