Laurus nobilis f. angustifolia willow-leaf bay
Narrow leaved form of the Grecian bay with willow-like evergreen leaves and a densely branched, more
spreading canopy than the more upright species, to 20 ft tall and eventually 25 ft wide. Sun and well-drained
soil is best with little summer water necessary once established. Has proven hardier than most selections and,
though a warm sheltered spot is preferred, has survived temps nearing 0F, bottom of USDA zone 7, with little
harm. We received this the Royal Horticultural Society garden at Wisley with the above name, a still current
name there, but plants are also sold as L. nobilis 'Angustifolia.'
1g @ $14 Lauraceae
Lavandula 'Goodwin Creek Grey'
A compact lavender, only 3 ft x 3.5 ft, with luscious soft gray foliage and dark purple-blue flowers throughout
the year in milder winters. Sun, well-drained soil, and little summer water once established make this a showy
garden subject, one that attracts bees and resists deer! This hybrid, selected and named by Goodwin Creek
Nursery, is recommended for overwintering indoors where it will bloom with 5 hours of sunlight. Plenty frost
hardy outdoors, accepting temperatures to 0F, USDA zone 7.
1g @ $9 Lamiaceae
Lavandula 'Regal Splendor'
The list of "wonderfuls" is long for this lavender: it is compact, to only 28" tall x 1-2 ft wide; has bright,
violet-purple bracts above blue-purple flowers; is most floriferous from spring to late summer but can bloom
all year long; it requires only occasional summer water and tolerates temperatures to 5F.
This cross between L. stoechas and L. viridis was introduced in England in 2001 and is considered one of the
best of the purples. Plant in full sun, provide occasional summer water, prune to maintain form, and enjoy.
Frost hardy in mid USDA zone 7.
