Vintro™ Blue Lavandula

Vintro™ Blue is an upright English lavender in Syngenta’s Vintro series. The 2023–2024 Potted Plants Catalog lists a mature garden size of 14–18 inches tall by 10–12 inches wide and full-sun exposure for the series, with strong stems and medium vigor suited to small and medium containers. ## Form and use Vintro™ is described as a strong English lavender series for overwintered culture, with growth that can withstand wet and cold overwintering conditions. Vintro™ Blue is identified as a vegetative variety in that series. Its upright form gives a container vertical shape and can also complement sunny beds with freely draining soil. The catalog lists the variety as requiring vernalization; this selection is therefore best suited to production schedules that include the necessary cool period. ## Growing conditions Plant in full sun and well-drained soil. Lavender generally dislikes prolonged wetness around its roots, so use an open planting site or a container with drainage. Water as the plant establishes, then adapt irrigation to rainfall, soil, and container conditions.

Shape lightly into leafy growth, avoiding cuts into old, bare wood. For overwintered containers, protect the root ball from prolonged saturation and severe exposure.
