Transform Your Garden with This Hardy, Fragrant Lavender That Blooms from Spring to Fall

Goodwin Creek Lavender gives you months of deep purple color, aromatic silver foliage, and pollinator activity with far less water and maintenance than many flowering plants. This hybrid French lavender variety is especially valued for its extended bloom season, drought tolerance once established, and ability to stay beautiful in borders, containers, rock gardens, and Mediterranean-style landscapes.

In mild climates, Goodwin Creek Lavender blooms nearly year-round. In typical outdoor gardens, it produces deep violet-blue flower spikes from early summer to late fall, with deep purple flowers that keep the garden looking alive through spring, summer, and fall.

Why You'll Love It

  • Extended Blooming Season – Deep purple flowers and violet-blue blooms provide long-lasting color from spring through late summer, with nearly year-round flowering possible in mild climates.

  • Drought Tolerant – Once established, this plant thrives with minimal water, making it ideal for dry, water-wise landscapes and California gardens that often feature drought-tolerant California lilac (Ceanothus).

  • Pollinator Magnet – Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds love the flowers, helping create a vibrant garden ecosystem with real life and movement.

  • Hardy Performance – Goodwin Creek Lavender grows in zones 6-10, has extreme weather tolerance, and is recognized for silver-gray foliage that looks good year-round.

  • Versatile Use – Perfect for borders, rock gardens, containers, patios, Mediterranean gardens, commercial plantings, and artisanal goods; plants like English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and the dried flowers of Goodwin Creek Lavender are used in aromatherapy.

Goodwin Creek Lavender has a unique combination of beauty, fragrance, and resilience. It is suited for gardeners who want a favorite lavender variety that can stand up to heat, dry soil, and changing weather without constant care.

What Makes It Different

Most lavender varieties either bloom for a shorter window or struggle when challenged by heat, humidity, or inconsistent watering. Goodwin Creek Grey combines ornamental silver foliage, long bloom performance, and practical toughness in one clean, beautiful plant.

  • Hybrid Vigor – Goodwin Creek Lavender is a hybrid French lavender variety, often sold as Lavandula heterophylla ‘Goodwin Creek Grey’, with the ability to perform better than many pure English or Spanish lavenders.

  • Distinctive Silver Foliage – The plant has silvery-grey foliage with finely toothed edges, giving the garden texture and color even when flowers are not at their peak.

  • Heat and Humidity Tolerance – Goodwin Creek Lavender handles hot summers and difficult conditions better than many lavender varieties, much like purple bougainvillea for Mediterranean-style gardens, while still needing well-draining soil to avoid moisture problems and root rot.

This variety was discovered at Goodwin Creek, a place known for lavender expertise, demonstration gardens featuring perennial plants, and sustainable agriculture and plant propagation education. Goodwin Creek Gardens offers over 40 distinct varieties of lavender, and visitors can browse over 125 lavender varieties at Goodwin Creek, making this selection part of a larger culture of plant knowledge and real growing experience.

How To Grow Goodwin Creek Lavender Successfully

  1. Plant in Full Sun Location
    Choose a spot with full sun for 6 to 8 hours daily and fast-draining soil. Leave enough room and distance around the plant so the foliage can breathe, the roots stay dry, and the natural rounded shape can develop.

  2. Establish with Regular Watering
    Water regularly during the first growing season, then reduce watering once the plant is established. As with Lavender Mexican heather and other nursery perennials, good drainage is essential because the plant is sensitive to moisture and can suffer root rot in soggy soil.

  3. Enjoy Continuous Blooms
    Watch deep purple flowers and deep violet-blue flower spikes appear from early summer to late fall, with additional blooms possible in mild climates, bright indoor settings, or a sunny window with cool night temperatures.

For best results, lightly prune after flowering to keep the plant compact and encourage more blooms. Goodwin Creek Lavender can survive temperatures down to -20°F, but cold, wet soil can still damage roots, so winter drainage and protection matter.

Great Value for a ball my dog loves!
Color: S6-muti-color
I wish these ball were in the subscription program! My dog gets sooo excited by the new ball, but her interest in things lasts for a few days. She kills the squeak within 11minutes, but the squeaker stays in place rather than becoming a chocking or swallow hazard, and she still loves to chew it. Next, we must throw the ball approximately 723 times the first day, possibly 496 times on day 2, and just 3- 4 on day 3, at which point she will chase the ball before hollering "it's over here if you need it," while she checks on the chipmunk den. We currently have 17 of these balls in our yard (because we have given several leftovers to a less discriminating doodle next door). These balls hold up really well, get her extremely active for the first couple of days, and are a much cheaper than doggie daycare (after an active morning with a new ball, she is happy to chew on it and sleep much of the day). I always have these on hand!

Pieces chewed off
Color: white & green
My Aussiedoodle loves it. I throw it down the hallway, it bounces crazy, and he chases it. The only complaint is that he can't chew much of the ball part. So now I have to have it put away and brought out for special playtime.

Bouncy, not hard, and good value.
Style: Fetch Balls (Pack of 10), Size: 2.5 inch
Great balls for the ball launcher and not rockhard like some of the solid rubber balls. These have great bounce, and because of the two holes, they make a fun whistling noise as they fly through the air. My dogs love them and they are a good value. By the way, if you throw them too hard, they will go through chain-link and no climb fence because they squish a bit!

Excellent dog balls — safe design and very durable
Style: Fetch Balls (Pack of 3), Size: 2.5 inch
These fetch balls from Amazon Basics are fantastic, and my dog absolutely loves them. One of the biggest reasons I prefer these over other brands is the hole that runs through the center of the ball. This is a very important safety feature: if a dog were to accidentally get the ball stuck in the back of the throat, the hole allows air to pass through. That small detail could literally make a life-saving difference. Aside from the safety benefit, they bounce well, are easy to clean, and hold up to a lot of playtime. They’re firm but not rock-hard, and my dog goes crazy for them. Great value, great quality, and a thoughtful design. Highly recommended for dog owners who want a safer alternative to standard solid rubber balls.
