JUST FOR FUN
We asked the the Farms on Tour what their favorite lavender plant was….
Cedarbrook Lavender & Herb Farm
Marcella’s favorite: Royal Velvet. “It is beautiful fresh or dried, and the lavender bud can be used for culinary purposes. I am a floral designer and the dried stems work beautifully for florals. The flower heads remind me of someone with gorgeous blue eyes “

Gary’s favorite: Hidcote Blue “It’s the best of both worlds -
It has a wonderful lavender fragrance…
and a beautifully dark purple flower.
Lost Mountain Lavender
Barb’s Favorite: For landscape plants, I really love the L. angustifolia X L. lanatas. Both Sawyers and Richard Gray are beautiful compact plants with bright purple flowers. They have gorgeous silvery foliage with a slight fuzz that makes a brilliant contrast with the purple blossoms. And they stay attractive throughout the year.
Of course, for overall versatility, you can't go wrong with a Grosso plant. They are one of the most fragrant lavenders. They are beautiful in the garden with long flowing dark bluish purple lavender stalks, which are great for dried floral and lavender crafts. I usually tell my customers "if you're going to only grow one lavender plant, this is a really great choice."
Olympic Lavender Farm
Mary & Steve’s Favorite: Our favorite Angustifolia is Royal Velvet because it is very dark, and stays on the stem. Our favorite Lavendin is Grosso because it has strongest scent and long stem and stays on the stem.
Jardin du Soleil
Pam’s Favorites: My two favorite plants are Hidcote, which is dark purple and Blue Cushion, which is a blue purple. Both are compact plants, have good fragrance and work well in gardens as border plants. Both varieties also do well in pots.
Purple Haze Lavender Farm
Mike’s Favorite: I think I would have to go with Grosso. Although I love Royal Velvet and Sachet....Grosso just has so many attributes; the abundance of oil, the beautiful blue florets, and the hardiness of the dried bundles...not to mention how it takes a tough winter and it's ability to grow fast.
Sunshine Herb & Lavender Farm
Steve & Carmen’s Favorite: This year we really like Provence, Royal Velvet & Melessia because they look good, they smell good, and they taste good. They have great uses.
