Description
An excellent English variety. Chief Horticulturist, David Salman loves deeply colored Lavenders which is why he often recommends this cultivar to his friends. 'Mitcham Gray' a rarely offered cultivar, rivals 'Hidcote Superior' in color with its deep violet-blue flowers. This variety has attractive gray-blue foliage as well. It can be used throughout the garden in endless color combinations. Harvest summer flowers to encourage more blooming. If needed, cut back winter-killed stems and foliage in spring. Thin out interior branches once every three or four years in the spring. Be sure to not cut back the woody growth. (cutting propagated)
