Lavandula angustifolia 'Buena Vista' (English Lavender) has a compact form with deep blue bi-colored flower spikes. A hard-to-find, twice blooming cultivar flowers in late spring and again in September. Sweetly fragrant flowers and foliage. Drought resistant/drought tolerant plant (xeric).
18-24" tall x 18" wide (cutting propagated). Lavandula angustifolia 'Buena Vista' (English Lavender) is a very
special cultivar. It blooms twice per season (late spring and again in
fall, in areas with a moderately long growing season), has superb
fragrance and eye-catching, strongly bi-colored flowering spikes with a
lax, informal habit. Bred in Oregon, 'Buena Vista's' attractive
elongated flower spikes have very dark blue calyxes and lighter blue
corollas (flowers) that are very different from more compactly flowered
English lavenders like 'Hidcote Superior'. When promptly deadheaded by
mid-summer, 'Buena Vista' will re-bloom in early fall. This is a
distinctive and highly desirable cultivar not often available to the
gardening public.
Planting & Care
Tips for Growing Lavender
Lavender are sun-loving plants that thrive in hot weather and grow best in arid climates. Lavender plants will be taller and wider in mild winter, hot summer climates. The same varieties when grown in cold (zone 5-6) winter climates tend to be more compact. Lavender plants require two-to-three growing seasons to reach mature size.
Lavender plants are at their best in the drier parts of the US like the Great Plains, Intermountain West and West Coast (which has a true Mediterranean climate (wet winters and dry summers). The key is to make sure you choose a variety with sufficient winter cold hardiness for your region. (‘Vera’ and ‘Pastor’s Pride’ are among the most cold hardy.) Yet with proper soil preparation, and planting site selection, Lavender can also thrive in moister, more humid climates like the Mid-West, East Coast and Mid-Atlantic states.
Plant in full sun with good air circulation.
Plant into well drained soil. Compost-enriched garden loam is alright in drier climates, sandy or gravel soil is best in moister climates. Heavy, poorly-drained clay soils will be fatal.
Select a raised or sloped bed, or a planting site against a hot wall or along a cement/asphalt walk or driveway where the reflected heat keeps growing conditions hotter and drier.
New transplants need regular watering. Don't let the plants get too dry. Supplemental watering can be greatly reduced the second growing season as the plants become established.
When using drip irrigation, place the emitter off to the side of the plant, not right on the root ball to avoid overwatering of mature plants.
Fertilize once annually in the fall with a top dressing of Yum Yum Mix.
Mulch with gravel or pine needles in arid climates. In moister climates mulching with gravel will protect the crown from excessive moisture and soil splashed onto the foliage.

Compact and SOOOO Fragrant
"I bought three Buena Vistas two years ago and all are doing great in my waterwise garden. I chose this compact variety because of the high winds in our area. . . . trying to minimize stem breakage that could occur with larger lavender. I am hoping that with the upcoming third season, I will get a strong second-bloom out of the plants. The bloom color is just like the HCG photo and the fragrance really encourages me to linger when I'm in that part of the garden!"

Wider than expected
"I bought 5 Buena Vista. 3 thrived. 1 plodded along. 1 had to be rehabbed. But 2 years later, all are good. They are very hardy to blazing sun and heat. With careful watering, they have survived 3 weeks of 101-108 degree heat in Texas. One thing - they are all way wider than 18"". Each branch is over 12"", and they have a sprawling growth pattern, so the width of my BV lavenders range from 24-36"". Overall I really like them."
