10-5-10: Lavandula angustifolia 'Croxton's Wild'

It’s October and we still have blooming pots of lavender in our nursery.

One of the outstanding varieties is Croxton’s Wild, a lavender grown from wild lavender seeds collected in Europe by Pauline Croxton, hence the name. Dusty pale buds open up into light blue flowers sitting atop six to eight inch stems. You may expect a second bloom about this time of year if you harvested the June bloom. Croxton’s Wild is considered to be an excellent culinary lavender for ice cream, crème brulee, or to decorate fancy drinks. We have our Croxton’s planted next to a red Japanese maple, a bright red dahlia and a clump of miscanthus. This lavender eventually grows to about three feet in diameter. Remember we have Joey Blum’s Guide to Growing Lavender for sale and it contains all the secrets of the trade.
