I am ‘Meerlo’ a cultivar of Lavender x allardii, the most heat, humidity, and water-wise lavenders available. I have an upright habit with beautifully variegated fragrant foliage with a vigorous and dense growth habit. I hold my pale purple blue flowers above my foliage in summer. My blooms are highly fragrant with distinct lavender aroma. Dry my flowers and leaves for use in sachets which repel moths when placed with stored clothing. I attract bees and beneficial insects.
