For a sunny composition, Lavender 'Super Blue' (Lavandula angustifolia ‘Super Blue’) offers flowers with shades of mauve. Among its distinctive details: aromatic foliage. The foliage features shades of green, which should be highlighted among different textures. The usual flowering period is June-August. The clump reaches approximately 30 cm in height and 30 cm in spread; use these dimensions to place the plant in the foreground of borders and rockeries.
Soil choice is essential for Lavender 'Super Blue': well-drained, rather light; avoid water pockets around the collar. The preferred exposure is full sun. After planting Lavender 'Super Blue', water enough to thoroughly moisten the root ball. Once established, allow the surface to dry between waterings and prioritize drainage, especially during thaws. A margin corresponding to its 30 cm spread avoids having to move the clump in the first few seasons. The indicated hardiness level is zone 4, to be assessed according to your garden's conditions.
As the seasons progress, Lavender 'Super Blue' benefits from timely care: prune lightly into the leafy shoots after flowering, without drastically cutting back old wood devoid of leaves. Winter drainage is very important for lavender; waterlogged soil during thaws weakens its base. For associations, consider border sages, yarrows, and catmints in varieties with similar needs. The flowering (June-August) and spread of 30 cm will serve as benchmarks for distributing other plants around this plant.
