History

Asa Blue Lavender is a modern cultivar of Lavandula x intermedia, a hybrid developed in early 20th-century France by crossing English and Portuguese lavenders for superior oil production and vigor. Bred by renowned Australian breeder Clive Larkman, ‘Asa Blue®’ showcases vivid blue flowers and exceptional fragrance, earning its place in the Phenomenal Family of resilient, high-quality varieties. Introduced to North American gardeners through Peace Tree Farm’s exclusive distribution, this cultivar continues the tradition of Lavandins as prized plants for ornamental and commercial use, blending Australian innovation with global appeal.

Planting & Care Instructions

• • Planting: Transplant the plug into dry, well-drained soil with full sun exposure. Plant 24" to 36" apart. Dig a hole as deep as the root ball and twice as wide, and hill soil into a raised mound to ensure water drains away from roots.

  • Watering: Water moderately until established, then water sparingly, allowing soil to dry completely between waterings to satisfy lavender’s love for dry conditions.

  • Soil: Thrives in sandy or loamy soil with a pH of 6.5-7.5. Avoid heavy clay or waterlogged areas.

  • Pruning: Trim after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth.

  • Winter Care: In colder climates (Zone 5), mulch around the base with gravel to protect roots and maintain dry conditions.
