Lavandula heterophylla is a vigorous, hybrid evergreen shrub prized for its exceptionally sweet fragrance, long flowering stems, and bright, mint-green foliage. This cross between English Lavender (L. angustifolia) and Portuguese Lavender (L. latifolia) forms an upright, bushy mound of linear, aromatic leaves that are smooth at the tips and subtly toothed near the base, with a distinctive bright, mint-green color. From late spring through summer, it produces long, slender, elegant flower spikes rising well above the foliage, covered in small, tubular, pale lavender-blue to soft purple blossoms. The flowers and foliage emit a sweet, herbaceous, distinctly honey-like lavender fragrance that is less camphorous than many other lavenders, making it highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. With its larger size, vigorous growth, and excellent tolerance for heat, drought, deer, and poor, well-drained soils, it is an outstanding choice for low hedges, borders, mass plantings, slopes, and containers.
