Lavender List

Lavandula stoechas 'Alba' (Spanish Lavender) White Spanish lavender. It's actually more of a pale cream white color.

Lavandula stoechas ssp. 'Lusitanica' (Spanish Lavender)

Lavandula stoechas 'Narrowleaf' (Spanish Lavender) Beautiful! My husband's favorite. Moved this plant to be closer to immediate view from my patio in precious "kitchen herbs" space. Quite the compliment.

Lavandula stoechas 'Otto Quast' (Spanish Lavender) Second favorite of the stoechas. Fast growth and zillions of blooms, unlike the leggier Narrowleaf. Great for landscaping. Blooms January-June, or more, depending on pruning.

Lavandula stoechas 'Penduculata' (Spanish Lavender)

Lavandula stoechas 'Quatsi' (Spanish Lavender) Here in Santa Barbara, this is the cultivar used most in landscaping. Once again, the image doesn't do it justice. It's a very bright purple.

Lavandula stoechas 'Wings of Night' (Spanish Lavender) Kind of a wacky flowering, eh?
