Lavendula Pinnata buchii has gray feathery leaves. It grows to about 2 feet tall and spreads to about 2 feet wide. The tall branching spikes of violet flowers appear from fall through July. It takes full sun, has low water needs, and is hardy to about 25 degrees. The fragrant foliage can be sensed in the garden with any light breeze as the numerous and continuous flowers dance in the wind. Lavender Pinnata is a 'THRILLER' that works well in cool season combinations and flower borders. Often you can get a second year of performance if the summer is not excessively rainy. They won't tolerate a wet site so you may have to start over the following cool season. This lavender is inedible.
