About Royal Velvet

Silver-laced spikes of light to deep purple flowers. Prized for rapid growth, cold tolerance, and color retention, both fresh and dried.

About Lavender

Upright spikes of small flowers rebloom into fall with regular deadheading. Very fragrant and dries beautifully for potpourri. A tender perennial from southern Europe. Very few varieties are fully hardy in Minnesota, but can be over-wintered indoors or treated as an annual. Needs excellent drainage to survive the winter. Can be added to sugar, shortbread, or lemonade. Deer- and rabbit-resistant.
