(Lavendula intermedia) 30" A quintessential example of the 'Lavandin' varieties created by crossing "English"(angustifolia) and "French"(intermedia) cultivars. Provence can and will get large if you let it. Blooming mid-summer, it sends up long, sturdy, fragrant spikes that are prized for both their fresh and dried uses. Sometimes called "fat lavender", Provence's flower heads can reach 3" long. If you live in a very hot climate, Provence is a good variety to try where other Lavender cultivars have failed.
