18-20" tall x 18-24" wide. 'Dilly Dilly' Lavender is more than a fun name! Its halo of tall, deep-violet flower spikes covers the plant all summer long, infusing your garden in fragrance and color. Plant in a sunny location, in average, well-drained soil (lavender doesn’t like soggy feet). Its compact round shape adds an interesting element to a perennial bed. Planted in a row, they create a beautiful border. Along a walkway, a scented pleasure. ‘Dilly Dilly’ has great cut flowers for lavender crafting. A pollinator favorite, deer and rabbits avoid it. (Lavandula x intermedia ‘Dilly Dilly’)
