| I picked up a pot of variegated lavender about a month ago. It was on clearance, and it was quite unusual so I figured what the heck. Of course now that I've decided I'd like another, the nursery is out of it for the season, but that's another topic... Anyway, does anyone have any experience with variegated lavender? I read somewhere on-line it isn't winter hardy, so wondering about that. Assuming the cultural requirements are the same as regular 'ol lavender - ? . No clue about what specific cultivar this is, other than it is variegated - gray with white edges. |

| The only variegated lavender cultivar that popped up on Google was 'Goldberg.' The link below gives some details but doesn't identify a hardiness zone. I didn't have much success growing lavender in my garden even though I grew several cultivars from seed via winter sowing. A few plants came back the first couple of years but eventually they all disappeared. I'm more of a 'plant it & forget it' type of gardener--if it doesn't thrive on neglect, it doesn't belong in my garden. Good luck identifying & growing your mystery lavender! |

| I have a Lavandula x intermedia 'Goldburg' a couple of years ago. It didn't survive the first winter. My experience so far is all Lavandula x intermedia are not hardy to my area. However, this one is so ornamental that I will try it again and again if I can find it again. I have a Lavandula angustifolia 'Silver Edge' that is hardy to my area but not nearly as showy as 'Goldburg'. |
