About the WajdasLavender Demonstration Garden | 1, 2, 3, 4 Sawyers: The Sawyers lavender was a very pleasant surprise and we really fell in love with it. Its leaves are definitely gray; not gray-green, but gray; its flowers had excellent color and were on stems nearly a foot long. Great for drying but, again, somewhat too stiff to make into wands. It bloomed on June 11. Blue Cushion: This is not supposed to be a very big plant and it was definitely the runt of the litter in our trial. It grew to about six inches tall and is six inches in diameter. It bloomed late in the second week of June with a limited number of blossoms on short (3-4 inch) stalks. Blue Cushion has a place at the edge of your garden, but don't count on it as a cutting plant. Seal, Seal of Oaks, Spike, and Fat Spike (aka Grosso): I am not a taxonomist, but I still wouldn't want to live on the differences between these four varieties; they all look pretty much the same to me. This is not to say that I dislike them. On the contrary, they are great plants. All grew nicely mounded about 15 inches in diameter. Then they produced flowers on stems 15-18 inches long. These proved to be great for making lavender wands. >> Page 1 About Our Test
