DESKTOP 447 - LAVENDER
This is Italian Lavender (Lavandula stoechas, or "Princess" Lavender).
This is Lavandula stoechas, GF, and French lavender is Lavandula pedunculata. French lavender has quite a pungent (and for me rather unpleasant smell). English lavender is the best-smelling one of all three, but these Italian lavenders are very attractive plants. I've done a few posts on our garden, but some time ago. I'll do a post soon with some of the Spring flowers out. :-)
I don't believe that I have seen this variety before. Tom THe Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteTom, well worth your while hunting it down and putting some in the garden. It is a spectacular plant!
DeleteThese are interesting looking lavender. I should try to locate some for my garden.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see an overal shot of your garden sometime.
ReplyDeleteAre these very different from what I know as French lavender?
