About This Plant
Lavandula sto. 'James Compton' (Lavender), 'James Compton', is valued in PNW gardens for its character and seasonal interest.
Lavender , Mediterranean evergreen with intensely fragrant gray-silver foliage and purple, blue, white, or pink flower spikes that bees and butterflies love.
Full sun suits this species. Plant in well-drained, lean, alkaline soil. Hardy USDA Zone 5 to 9. Shear lightly after flowering to keep compact. Drought-tolerant; resents wet feet and heavy soils.
