Blue Spear Lavender

Blue Spear is an English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) with a compact profile ideal for container gardens or those with limited space. They can also be grown outdoors, where multiple plants can be clustered closely together. These plants crank out fragrant, dark purple flowers that can be harvested for culinary or ornamental uses. Stalks are tall (7-8 inches) making them ideal for lavender cuttings.

Blue Spear is an English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) strain, and for its size, the most productive I've encountered. The plants have a compact profile that make them ideal for container gardens or those with limited space, but they can also be grown outdoors, where multiple plants can be clustered closely together. Don't let the small footprint fool you – these plants crank out fragrant, dark purple flowers that can be harvested for culinary or ornamental uses. Stalks are tall (7-8 inches) making them ideal for lavender cuttings. Multiple cuttings are possible throughout the season – I start harvesting mine for culinary bundles in March/April and only in late October do the plants start to die back. -Quin
