In trials, this cultivar has produced blooms early and throughout summer with plants maintaining good appearance. English lavender plants (see Lavandula angustifolia at B413 herein) have been mainstays of herb gardens for many years.

English lavender varieties are more often used for culinary purposes than other types of lavender. (less)
