Lavender ‘Silver Frost’, also known as ‘Kathleen Elizabeth’, is grown as much for its soft, silvery foliage as for its flowers. The plant forms an upswept, bushy shrub that looks beautiful even in winter, bringing light and texture to the garden when many plants fade.
In bloom, ‘Silver Frost’ sends up long, sturdy stems topped with dark violet-blue flower spikes. The contrast between the cool silver leaves and rich purple flowers makes this variety especially striking in the landscape and in arrangements. The blooms carry a strong, pleasant lavender fragrance and hold their form well for both fresh and dried use.
With its larger size and architectural shape, ‘Silver Frost’ is well suited for landscaping, rock gardens, bouquets, crafts, potpourri, and small-scale oil distillation. It’s a wonderful choice for gardeners who appreciate foliage just as much as flowers.

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.
Are your plants inspected for plant health and disease?
Yes. Our nursery is inspected at least twice each year by the Oregon Department of Agriculture and meets state plant health and disease standards.
Why does shipping cost what it does for live plants?
Shipping live plants requires careful packaging, seasonal timing, and fast transit to ensure they arrive healthy.
Our shipping rates are calculated in real time based on box size, weight, and destination, and we always select the best available option for safe, timely delivery.
We never inflate shipping costs — you pay what it costs us to ship your order safely.
