BLUE CUSHION ENGLISH LAVENDER
Lavandula angustifolia 'Lavandula Schola' (sold under the trade name Blue Cushion, PP9119) is a dwarf English lavender prized for its dense, rounded habit. Unlike standard cultivars that get leggy, 'Blue Cushion' forms a tidy, symmetrical cushion of aromatic, linear gray-green foliage reaching 12 to 15 inches tall and 12-18 inches wide. From early summer into fall, short spikes rise just above the foliage and open in deep blue-purple. Those blooms fade to light blue and silvery-gray as they age, giving the plant a distinct two-tone effect across multiple flushes.
Hardy across USDA Zones 5 through 9, 'Blue Cushion' requires full sun and lean, sharply drained, neutral-to-alkaline soil to avoid winter root rot. Once established, it handles heat, drought, salt spray, and poor rocky sites while attracting bees and butterflies. Its high essential oil content keeps deer and rabbits away and makes the blooms great for culinary uses, sachets, and dried arrangements.
