Description

Lavandula angustifolia 'Wee One' (English Lavender) is a wonderful dwarf variety with compact heads of clear blue flowers and dark blue calyxes; this slow growing little beauty is great for small spaces. In flower, the mature plant is only about 10" in height. While slow growing, it is very xeric, has excellent heat tolerance and will reach mature size by the end of the third growing season. 'Wee One' is thought to be a bee pollinated garden cross between 'Thumbelina Leigh' and Dwarf White English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia 'Nana Alba'). It was discovered and introduced by High Country Garden's Chief Horticulturist, David Salman. A Plant Select Petite winner.

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.

"Well packaged as described"

— DEZERAE (5/5)

"Fantastic!"

— Angela (5/5)

So far so good planted and looking good.

"I planted the dwarf lavendar in pots in the front of my townhome. So far they look healthy and I am hoping they will thrive."

— Climate B. (5/5)

Dwarf lavender

"I was looking for dwarf lavender and this one fits the bill. I ordered 9 and 8 survived after a year. It is small when it was received and has filled out nicely. I moved 6 months ago and I dug it up and moved it. It did fine and it is thriving. I planted it on a downhill slope for good drainage. I just ordered 9 more to add to my border."

— Momo (5/5)

Impressive

"Thought I'd try this in a front south facing walkway area. The first season was slow growing but this year this little one really too off and has been blooming impressively. It was the photo including cactus that sold me. Glad I gave it a try. Considering using more in my lawn replacement project."

— Mountain G. (5/5)

Consistently outstanding customer service over the years!

"There are two things I have depended upon over decades of purchasing plants from these folks. A variety of very sturdy stock that thrives under difficult and limited conditions and stellar customer service. This is why I have recommended them to all my gardening friends. Eco savvy, unusual varieties and long lasting plants are always on offer with H. C. G. One of the salvias I purchased from them grew 8' tall and bushed out to 5' wide the first year of it's planting in an 8"" x 12"" spot. It has thrived for years ever since and attracts hummingbirds and a few varieties of bees year round. And the blooms are abundant and gorgeous deep purple. Sign me, never disappointed fan for life."

— LuLu (5/5)

Lovely lavender

"I planted Wee One Lavender in several pots scattered through a flower bed. The plants arrived on time and looked very healthy. They have thrived. I'm very happy with this purchase."

— Happy H. (5/5)

— Maureen (5/5)

Very good plant and not overwhelmingly

"This plant is on a hillside and looks well with other flowering plants. It is not overwhelming."

— Margo (5/5)
