That's right – Whale Rock Lavender is now in Newport!
But first, a few things that we’ve experienced while growing Lavender -
Did you know that there are over 150 kinds of Lavender, and not all of them love Rhode Island’s climate?
We have focused on a few hardy kinds of Lavender.
Some have tall stalks and high oil content with a eucalyptus fragrance.
Others have short stalks and a citrusy fragrance.
All Lavenders like “dry” feet. This means that well-draining soil is an absolute must.
Our family loves it here in Newport, RI, and we're happy to report that our lavender loves it too; it's thriving in the coastal soil.
