Silver Mist English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia 'Silver Mist')

Silver Mist English Lavender, Lavandula angustifolia 'Silver Mist', is a compact English lavender grown as much for its shimmering silver foliage as for its soft lavender purple flower spikes. Plants form a low, rounded mound of finely textured gray silver leaves that brighten sunny borders, paths, and containers even before bloom. In late spring and early summer, slender flower wands rise just above the foliage, adding gentle color, movement, and a classic lavender fragrance that makes this variety a natural focal point in well drained, sun drenched garden spaces.

Distinctive Features

Silver Mist English Lavender typically grows about 12 to 18 inches tall and 14 to 20 inches wide, forming a dense, cushion like mound that stays tidy with only light pruning. The foliage is a standout feature, with narrow leaves that read as bright silver from a distance and provide a cool, luminous backdrop for the flowers. Flower spikes carry many small lavender purple florets that create a soft wash of color above the mound rather than tall, towering stems. The combination of compact size, silvery foliage, and gentle bloom makes this variety especially useful where you want a bright, refined accent that looks good from spring through fall.

Growing Conditions

  • Light: Prefers full sun with at least 6 hours of direct light daily for best flowering, strong fragrance, and dense, compact growth.
  • Soil: Thrives in well drained, lean to average soils; avoid heavy or waterlogged ground and favor sandy or gravelly conditions that keep roots on the dry side.
  • Water: Water regularly after planting to establish; once rooted in, water deeply but infrequently, allowing the top of the soil to dry between waterings.
  • Hardiness: Suited to many temperate regions where English lavender is grown outdoors, especially when provided with sharp drainage in winter.
  • Size: Forms a compact mound about 12 to 18 inches tall and 14 to 20 inches wide at maturity, depending on climate and care.
  • Growth Rate: Moderate grower that fills in steadily without quickly outgrowing beds, borders, or containers.

Ideal Uses

  • Edging and Pathways: Plant in a row along walks, drives, or bed edges to create a low, fragrant band of silver foliage and soft lavender bloom.
  • Containers and Patio Pots: Excellent in clay pots, troughs, and mixed planters where the compact mound and silver leaves add brightness, scent, and texture.
  • Front of Border Accent: Ideal for the front of sunny borders where its cushion like shape and luminous foliage form a neat visual anchor.
  • Herb and Scent Gardens: Perfect near seating areas, entries, and paths so aromatic foliage and flowers can be brushed and enjoyed up close.
  • Cottage and Mediterranean Gardens: Mix with roses, salvias, grasses, and other sun lovers for classic cottage combinations, or pair with stone and gravel for a cool, Mediterranean inspired look.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Watering: After establishment, water when the top inch of soil is dry; avoid constant moisture or soggy conditions that can lead to root and crown problems.
  • Pruning: Shear lightly after the main flush of bloom to remove spent spikes and maintain a dense mound; avoid cutting back into old woody stems that do not have leaves.
  • Fertilizing: Requires only light feeding; in spring, apply a small amount of balanced, slow release fertilizer if soil is very lean, since excessive nutrients can cause soft, floppy growth.
  • Mulching: Use a thin layer of gravel or coarse mulch around the base to improve drainage and keep foliage off wet soil, avoiding heavy organic mulches against the stems.
  • Seasonal Care: In colder climates, provide excellent drainage and a sunny, sheltered spot; in late winter or early spring, tidy lightly to remove any winter damage and keep plants compact.

Why Choose Silver Mist English Lavender?

  • Striking Silver Foliage: Bright gray silver leaves add light and contrast to borders, rock gardens, and containers even when the plant is not in bloom.
  • Compact, Tidy Habit: Naturally low, rounded form is easy to manage in small gardens, narrow beds, and patio plantings.
  • Soft Lavender Flowers: Gentle flower color complements the silver foliage and combines easily with a wide range of perennials and shrubs.
  • Aromatic and Sun Loving: Fragrant foliage and flowers perform well in hot, bright exposures when planted in well drained soil.
  • Versatile Design Use: Works as edging, a foliage accent, a container feature, or a small scale focal point wherever you want classic lavender fragrance paired with standout silver leaves.

With its compact cushion habit, luminous silver foliage, and soft lavender purple flower spikes, Silver Mist English Lavender is an excellent choice for adding color, scent, and a refined focal point to sunny borders, pathways, rock gardens, and containers.

Must Use FOAMING SOAP BOTTLE for this soap & you will Love it!
Scent: Fragrance Free, Size: 64 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have been using this soap refill for years and love it. I also use the scented versions when this is out of stock and they are not very strong scent. But if you prefer no fragrance, then this is a great soap. Many reviewers are complaining it is watery and thin. YES, IT IS. It is SUPPOSED to be. If you don't know how foaming soap works, you do need a couple pumps of foaming soap but you are using a fraction of the amount of soap you would use (aka WASTE) with standard soap. Have you ever seen your kid pump soap in the bathroom? Not once, or twice, but three or four times? Well, they can do that with this soap and not waste it because it's half air in each pump. It's SUPPOSED to be for foaming hand soap. Don't get fooled by your costly regular or foaming soap. Buy this and have clean hands and SAVE money! My family has very sensitive skin and nobody gets rough, red hands from this soap. No problems. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE FOAMING SOAP DISPENSERS FOR THIS PRODUCT: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PVFXSVC/ref=sbl_dpx_bath-accessories-countertop-soap-dispensers_B07Z8J57J7_0?th=1 UPDATE ON REVIEW (August 2020): I recently just ordered this item and it was delivered with new packaging. I thought it was the same product, but it seems to have additional ingredients now including alcohol. Hm. Need to look closer into this and will update when figure out what has changed. UPDATE ON INGREDIENTS (October 2020): The new formula is now showing the ingredients. It has changed. A lot. One ingredient that was removed is PHENOXYETHANOL which is GREAT they removed that! However, if they only removed that, then this would be an amazingly safe hand soap (by EWG standards it would be golden). However, it is a completely different soap with a completely different list of ingredients. I will wait until the EWG rates these ingredients before continuing to purchase this. As other reviewers have noted, it does now have "fragrance" in the ingredients - and misleadingly states "(natural)" next to the word fragrance, which means absolutely nothing in terms of what is allowed and what is not. Do your research on what the word "fragrance" means on labels and what could possibly be in your product under that ingredient. In addition it now does have alcohol in it, which some may like, however I don't think soap needs it. If you are washing, you don't need to sanitize anything. It's overkill ingredient - not needed and dries your hands out.

Cruelty free and works well!
Scent: Fragrance Free, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This soap lasts a long time. One bottle lasts one person roughly 3 weeks to a month, depending on frequency of hand washing in a day. It has a slight smell if you get near it that to me smells like a fresh clean smell. It is cruelty free and when I researched the brand, not tested on animals. It also seems like it is made out of healthy ingredients. Overall I will keep buying it.

Leaked in package
Scent: Eucalyptus, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The pump leaked in delivery. A bit messy- upon opening, loss of some product. Wasn’t packaged properly. Smell was not that great. Soap seems fine. Due to how it was packaged I doubt I’d buy again.
