Low-growing lavender varieties
Lavender grows quite fast and can be very bushy and sometimes quite high. Speiklavendel reaches a height of up to one meter. How high your lavender actually gets depends on the selected variety - but also on the growing conditions. In perfect conditions, even low lavender can be significantly higher than indicated.
The most beautiful lavender varieties with low growth
Low-lavender lavender or, as it is sometimes called, dwarf lavender is the right choice for small gardens and pot-growing on the balcony or terrace. These varieties require significantly less space than the higher guards, and in addition, some varieties can also be used as a soil-covering plant. The low lavender generally grow slower than the conventional varieties, they are also partly suitable for planting in the balcony box - provided that waterlogging can be avoided in such a way. Otherwise, the small lavender are perfect for a bed enclosure or low hedges. In mixed beds you should be planted as possible in the foreground.
List of dwarf lavender
The most important lavender varieties with low growth include the following varieties:
Often, the variety 'Hidcote Blue' is described as a dwarf, which is not quite true. In fact, this rather dark-flowering variety can remain comparatively small, but easily reaches heights between 50 and 60 centimeters under good growth conditions.
Also Schafflavendel remains quite low
The list above shows that, in particular, varieties of the genuine lavender - Latin Lavandula angustifolia - remain relatively low. This species also has the advantage of being hardy - d. H. You can hibernate these plantlets outdoors. With stature heights between 40 and 60 centimeters and thus relatively small remain different varieties of Schopflavendels (Lavandula stoechas), which, however, tolerates no cold and should overwinter in the Kalthaus.
Tips & Tricks
In contrast, however, Speiklavendel (Lavandula latifolia) and also the Provencal Lavandin (Lavandula intermedia) are very high. In addition, these varieties are only winterized, but not hardy.
