Lavender 'SuperBlue'

SuperBlue is a compact English lavender with rich blue blooms on short flower spikes. Darwin Perennials describes a mounded plant with strong winter hardiness and good landscape performance. ## Flowers and form This selection grows about 10–12 inches tall and wide. Its flowers open from late spring into late summer, bringing blue color to low borders, edging, and containers. The Royal Horticultural Society describes English lavender as aromatic, with gray-green foliage and fragrant purple flowers. ## Growing conditions Choose a sunny position with well-drained soil; English lavender can struggle in waterlogged ground. Darwin lists light watering and deer resistance, with hardiness in USDA zones 5a–8b. The listed mature size suits compact plantings, though airflow and drainage remain important in humid or wet climates. ## Maintenance Trim lightly after flowering to maintain a compact mound, and avoid cutting into old bare wood.
