Lavandula Platinum Blonde
Best low-maintenance choice for gardeners seeking fragrant, deer-resistant landscape color.
This is the rare lavender that refuses to fade into the background, trading the typical monochromatic look for striking cream-edged foliage. While you sacrifice the uniform green of traditional varieties, you gain a high-contrast, pollinator-friendly shrub that stays vibrant even in the peak of summer heat.
