LAVENDER ANGUSTIFOLIA FOLGATE

LAVENDER ANGUSTIFOLIA FOLGATE

The lavender folgate is a common English variety which offers excellent foliage and blue-purple flowers throughout the late summer.

Qualities -

• Evergreen
• Ideal for border edges
• Dense Foliage (compact)
• Fragrant Blue Flowers
• Potential height of 60cm

The potential height of 60cm is in ideal conditions, and it is easy to maintain at a much more desirable 30-35cm, ex flowers. The flowers of the lavender folgate plants are dark blue, sometimes mistaken for a purple. The folgate will produce a decent crop of flowers, and often quite dense and aromatic flowering qualities. Foliage is generally silver to grey, new foliage is green, and winter foliage is a shade of purple/silver.

On conclusion - a recommended compact variety. Pretty consistant, and relatively easy to grow. A common English variety so hardy and smaller, denser leaves than the hybrid varieties. Availability wise it is not a commercially grown variety, so best to pre-order/guarantee your plants early in the season for delivery early May. The lavender folgate is only available in the 9cm pots, specimens of this variety are hard to source.
