Lavender ‘Graves’ is a wonderful English lavender that stands tall, holds its shape, and flowers generously—year after year. The stems are upright and sturdy, which makes harvesting simple and satisfying whether you’re cutting for bouquets, drying, or craft projects.
The flowers themselves are rich and beautiful: dark violet, softly woolly calyces with a hint of sage green at the base, topped by violet-blue blooms. They dry especially well, keeping both their color and fragrance long after harvest. If you like lavender that still looks and smells good weeks later, ‘Graves’ is a dependable choice.
In the garden, it adds strong vertical lines and a sense of rhythm to beds and borders. Pollinators love it—bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects show up in force when it’s in bloom. And because it’s an English lavender, it’s also gentle enough in flavor for culinary use, teas, herbal blends, and infused goods.
Whether you grow for beauty, harvest, or both, ‘Graves’ is the kind of lavender that earns its place.

What to Expect With Your Plants
What size plants will I receive?
Most plants ship in 2 3/8” x 3 3/4” band pots—ideal for healthy root growth.
Top growth varies by variety and season, but every plant arrives well-rooted, actively growing, and ready to plant.
Grown naturally without artificial heat or lights, our plants are hardy, adaptable, and ready to thrive in real garden conditions.
When will my plants ship?
We schedule plant orders based on your area’s average last frost date and when each plant is truly ready to ship. You’ll receive an email with your estimated ship date once your order is scheduled.
Orders ship Monday–Wednesday via UPS or USPS (2–3 day service), so your plants arrive before the weekend and spend less time in transit. Shipping begins in spring—usually mid-April—when weather and plant health align, so your plants arrive strong, well-rooted, and ready to thrive.
Do you guarantee your plants?
We stand behind our plants and our packing process. While we can't control weather or how plants are cared for after arrival, we do guarantee that your plants will arrive healthy and in good condition. If there's an issue, just reach out and we're happy to help.
