Lavandula stoechas (non-native)
Lavandula stoechas, commonly known as Spanish Lavender, is a small, evergreen, perennial shrub with soft gray-green foliage and cone-shaped clusters of flowers. The flowers are typically purple, although they can also be pink or white, and are topped with distinctive bracts that resemble wings.
Spanish Lavender is one of the earliest flowers to bloom in mid-spring and continues to bloom through late summer. It is known for its strong, sweet fragrance, which attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.
Spanish Lavender needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day and prefers well-drained, poor, light, and sandy soil. Water deeply once a week during the growing season, spring and summer, and reduce watering in the fall and winter. Prune in the fall after the flowers have faded and trim back by one-half its size to encourage bushier growth and more flowers.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
