- Silvery, finely toothed foliage forms a dense mound with long, dark purple flower spikes
- Heat- and sun-loving lavender that handles periodic drought once established
- Great for borders, edging, rock gardens, raised beds, and statement containers
- Fragrant, cuttable blooms that attract pollinators and add bold contrast to sunny spaces
Goodwin Creek Gray Lavender (Lavandula x ginginsii ‘Goodwin Creek Gray’) is a standout lavender known for its dense mound of finely toothed, silver-gray foliage and beautiful, long, slender, dark purple flower spikes in summer. Exceptionally tolerant of heat, sun, and periodic drought, it’s a strong choice for waterwise gardens and bright, exposed planting areas. Use it to line sunny paths, soften borders, or anchor rock gardens and raised beds with year-round texture and fragrance. It also performs beautifully in containers—just be sure to overwinter potted plants indoors in colder climates until spring after danger of frost.
Overview
A heat-loving, evergreen lavender with striking silver foliage and dark purple flower spikes—ideal for sunny, waterwise gardens.
- Plant type: Evergreen lavender with a dense, mounding habit
- Growth rate: Moderate
- Standout feature: Finely toothed, silver-gray foliage
Blooms & Fragrance
Long, slender flower spikes bring rich color and classic lavender fragrance, and they’re excellent for cutting.
- Bloom time: Summer
- Flower color: Purple
- Flower attributes: Fragrant, showy, and great for cutting
Plant Size
Forms a substantial, full mound that can fill space nicely in borders and large containers.
- Mature size: 2–4 ft. tall and 2–4 ft. wide
- Habit: Dense and mounding
Sunlight
Full sun supports the best flowering, richest foliage color, and strongest overall performance.
- Light: Full sun
Water
Lavender thrives with a “soak and dry” routine. Let the soil go almost dry between waterings to keep roots healthy.
- Water needs: Let soil go almost dry between waterings
- First season: Water regularly to establish a strong root system
- After establishment: Reduce frequency; tolerates periodic drought
Soil & Drainage
Fast drainage is essential for long-lived lavender. Avoid heavy, soggy soils and plant slightly high.
- Best soil: Lean, loose, fast-draining
- Soil pH: Slightly alkaline
- Avoid: Heavy, soggy soils
- Planting tip: Set crowns slightly above soil level
Cold Hardiness
Evergreen in mild climates and best suited to warmer zones; container plants can be overwintered indoors where winters are colder.
- USDA zones: 7–9
- Overwintering: In colder climates, overwinter potted plants indoors until spring after danger of frost
Where to Plant
A versatile lavender for sunny, well-drained sites—excellent where heat and reflected sun are common.
- Sunny borders and perennial beds
- Rock gardens and drought-tolerant plantings
- Raised beds with fast-draining soil
- Containers for patios, entries, and courtyards
- Edging along paths and garden borders
Design Tips
Use the silver foliage to create contrast, and plant in repeats for a clean, Mediterranean-style look.
- Makes an informal, heat-loving plant to fill borders
- Works as a dense edging plant for sunny beds
- Can be used as a short hedge; shearing can release fragrance even when out of bloom
- Perfect for rock gardens and waterwise designs
Maintenance
Minimal care is needed once established—focus on drainage, occasional shaping, and removing spent blooms.
- Remove spent flowers to promote continued bloom
- Water less frequently after establishment to support strong roots
- Light shaping as needed to maintain a tidy mound
Wildlife & Resistance
A pollinator-friendly lavender with helpful resistance traits for easier garden success.
- Attracts: Pollinators
- Resistance: Deer resistant; rabbit resistant
- Also noted for: Drought tolerance
Pairs Well With
Pair with sun-loving, drought-tolerant companions for a cohesive, low-water planting.
