Lavender...

Sequim lavender. All through this small town, it's planted in medians and front yards and in flower beds that surround local businesses. My favorite grows here in wild abandon. All around town, this dark purple lavender thrives, and is the most common lavender planted in the Sequim valley.

Sequim is the epicenter of lavender in Washington. The home of that fabulous scent. The home of that wide shelf of land that runs from the Olympics to the Strait of Juan de Fuca, filled with farms and barns and fields of lavender, ponds and parks and glorious green.



Lavendula Intermedia Grosso... 16-20″ stems; perfect lavender for the Northwest. It is the most frequently planted Lavandin in the Sequim Dungeness Valley because it nearly has it all: dark color, strong fragrance, and disease resistance.

We came up to pick up wine at two of our favorite wineries, a few weeks ahead of the annual lavender festival. It was wonderful to find the lavender in full bloom and we got to enjoy the fragrance and beautiful color, without the crowds. 

Lucky uss!
