Lavendula Angustifolia Tucker's Early Purple

English Lavender 'Tucker's Early Purple'

Tucker's early purple is a compact, erect plant with grey-green leaves. It blooms with extremely scented violet blue flowers in early summer and reblooms in the fall. It grows best in full sun and prefers loam or sandy soil. This herb is exceptional as a cut flower for the vase or as a dried flower due to its dark flower buds and dark purple-blue flowers. Tucker's early purple is named after lavender expert professor A. O. Tucker of Delaware University.
