Fred Boutin Lavender
Our favorite lavender for foliage, Fred Boutin Lavender features especially silvery foliage that really glows at the edge of a border or along a path where it will guide your way with reflected light at night. Flower spikes are especially long on Fred and the flowers bloom for a very long period. Not the most fragrant of lavenders, but the foliage can’t be beat!
