Lavender 'Goodwin Creek' - 4" Pot

Lavender 'Goodwin Creek' (Lavandula x ginginsii 'Goodwin Creek Grey' or 'Goodwin Creek Gray') is a vigorous hybrid lavender, a chance cross likely between Lavandula dentata and Lavandula lanata, discovered in 1989 at Goodwin Creek Gardens in Oregon, USA. This evergreen perennial forms dense, mounding shrubs 2–3 feet tall and wide (up to 4 feet in some conditions), with finely toothed, silvery-gray to gray-green foliage that provides striking texture and aroma. It produces abundant, long slender spikes of deep violet-blue to soft lavender flowers nearly year-round in mild climates, or primarily summer through fall, offering exceptional heat, drought, and humidity tolerance compared to many lavenders. Hardy in zones 7–10, it thrives in full sun with well-drained soil.

Prized for ornamental and practical uses, 'Goodwin Creek' excels in perennial borders, rock gardens, containers, hedges, or xeriscaping, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds while resisting deer. Its fragrant flowers and foliage suit dried arrangements, potpourri, sachets, wreaths, and essential oils for aromatherapy to ease anxiety or aid sleep. Culinary applications include fresh or dried buds in teas, desserts, herb blends, or savory dishes for subtle floral notes. Fresh maximizes scent in crafts or infusions; it's also valued in perfumes and crafts.
