Lavandula 'Pastel Dreams' PBR

Lavandula 'Pastel Dreams' PBR is another Larkman Nurseries introduction. It was bred in New Zealand by Virginia McNaughton and Dennis Matthews and is one of the more unusual Spanish type lavenders. It has rich purple flowers on green flower heads and long delicate wings that vary in color from soft creamy white and lilac pink in spring to a dark muted pink and mauve over summer. The bush grows to approximately 80cm high and 70cm wide and will flower continually over the long summer period except for a short break during the heat of summer.

Pastel Dreams is an easy to grow plant that requires an annual prune to keep it compact and an annual feed with Osmocote Slow Release plus a dose of gypsum or dolomite lime after flowering to maintain its vigour. Like all lavenders it requires full sun and good drainage. Pastel Dreams makes a stunning show when planted in mass. It also looks great interplanted with Lavandula 'Avonview', Lavandula 'Somerset Mist' or Lavandula 'Pippa White'.
