Lavender All-Stars Part One

Lavender All-Stars

One of my favorite lavenders is Royal Velvet, a Lavandula Angustifolia. The reason I love it so much is its compact shape and beautiful dark navy-blue lavender flower spikes. The flower spikes, hold their dark color as a dried flower. You can use it fresh or dry it for bouquets and sachets. It can be used as culinary lavender and is especially tasty in dessert recipes. It is a semi-dwarf lavender that grows to 18” to 22” so the right size to plant in the garden or in a pot. Its long bloom period is in late spring/early summer.

Photos of Royal Velvet show its beauty. We love it so much that it is our choice for one of the bouquets we sell online.
