Plant Biography
This is a charismatic large lavender with evergreen aromatic leaves, many of which are attractively toothed or lobed. From midsummer this shrub bears long-lasting elegant stems of fragrant, dark violet-blue flowers.
Nectar rich, they are a magnet for bees and butterflies, making them as essential for a wildlife friendly patch as they are a formal Mediterranean-style garden. ‘Goodwin Creek’ is a hybrid of English and French lavender discovered in Oregan, and is considered one of the best varieties of Lavender for creating topiary shapes due to its density and size. It is fully hardy in most parts of the UK, but may require some protection from harsh winters in exposed sites.
Care Size & Guidance
Like most lavenders, this requires little attention beyond watering in the warmer months when the plants are still establishing. Though they have a naturally neat habit, you can clip them annually as the summer flowers fade if further shaping is desired.
‘Goodwin Creek’ will reach 90cm across in the right conditions. Due to its French lavender ancestry it is slightly less tolerant of winter exposure and may require protection in very frosty areas. In heavier soils or colder regions it may also be worth planting on a slight mound and/or backfilling the planting hole with horticultural grit to improve drainage.
