More Information

Description While we carry many different lavender plants, we had to add 'Imperial Gem' lavender (or Lavandula angustifolia) to our collection for one reason. The Chicago Botanic Garden dubbed 'Imperial Gem' to be "superior in all respects" to other lavender flowers in their trials. It's robust, cold-hardy, and a prolific bloomer that boasts fragrant dark purple flowers. Through six years of trials, 'Imperial Gem' was consistently the top performer, so we're confident you'll love it in your garden!

While it may be called English lavender, it's native to the Mediterranean, growing in dry and sandy soils. Given plenty of sun and well-draining soil, 'Imperial Gem' lavender will reward you with multiple flushes of fragrant flowers. Try planting it in rock gardens, containers, or along walkways where the fragrance can be enjoyed all summer long.
Details Botanical name: Lavandula 'Imperial Gem'
Common name: Lavender, English lavender
Zone: 5 - 9
Sun exposure: Sun (> 6 hours sun)
Height x width: 18-24" x 18-24"
Flower color: Lavender
Foliage color: Silver-gray
Season of interest: Summer
Bloom time: Summer
Features: Rabbit resistant, heat tolerant, fragrant, dry soils, drought tolerant, deer resistant, container plants, best sellers, best for beginners
Uses: Container gardening, cottage gardening, edging, ground cover, massing, ornamental, herb garden
How To Grow Soil: Any well-drained soil will do. Lavender cannot tolerate wet soils for any length of time.
Light: Sun (> 6 hours sun)
Water: Dry to average. Very tolerant of dry conditions once established.
Spacing: 18 - 24 inches
Fertilizing: Lavender needs little in the way of fertilizer. However, if your plants are severely set back by winter damage, you could apply some granular garden fertilizer in early spring to give it a boost in its recovery.
Winterizing: Plants may get some damage in winter, which can be exacerbated by wet soil conditions.
Maintenance & pruning: Remove faded flowers to promote continued bloom. Prune once or twice a year to keep plant shapely. Prune in the spring after the lavender wakes up. Wait until the lavender has new growth (do not worry if it takes a while to wake up).

Will be submitting a full refund

Upon planting out in our lavender area, these plants struggled. I've already asked to replace the Spanish Lavender (money was refunded). The others are not doing well and one has completely shriveled up.

Small, expensive, and poorly packaged

I do NOT recommend Great Garden Plants. I was very disappointed with my order. The plants were smaller than expected; therefore, not worth the price. In addition, they were poorly packaged - the plants were very very very dry so dirt spilled all over the entire box. For anyone thinking about purchasing plants from this company, BEWARE!
