Platinum Blonde is a striking new lavender variety thats gaining attention for its attractive gray-green leaves with creamy-yellow variegation all along the leaf margins. In summer, fragrant, lavender- blue flowers rise over the foliage on tall stems and it creates a beautiful specimen for a container or garden bed. Lavender flowers are sought-after for their delightful scent. Hardy in zones 6-9, Platinum Blonde is probably hardy in zone 5 with a thick layer of mulch for winter protection.
