Blue Cushion English Lavender

Specs

Botanical Name Lavandula angustifolia ‘Blue Cushion’

Environment Full Sun, Low Water

Color Blue Flowers, Green & White Leaves

Flower Season Spring & Summer

Unlike many compact varieties of lavender which tend to have smaller, lighter blue flower spikes and an uneven flowering habit, ‘Blue Cushion’ forms a perfectly compact, rounded cushion of fragrant, grey-green, evergreen foliage. From early to late summer, the entire clump is covered in a mass of deep blue flowers which lighten to pale blue as they mature. The flowers are produced in several flushes, giving the appearance of continual bloom sometimes into early fall depending on the weather. Dead heading promotes rebloom.
