Lavandula angustifolia Blue Cushion
Lavandula Blue Cushion is a very compact lavender easier to keep in tight mounds than other cultivars.
Lavandula Blue Cushion ‘Schola’ is a very compact lavender growing to about 16 inches high and wide with beautiful, fragrant, grey-green foliage smothered with blue-lavender flowers over a long period in summer. The dwarf cushioning habit is particularly valuable for those who find their other lavenders get large and leggy. Full sun, dry, well-drained soils. Shear lavenders lightly in early spring just as they begin growth and again after flowering to keep tidy.
