This lavender isn’t something we ordered out of a catalog.

It showed up here—on our land.

Years ago, while walking the greenhouses at Goodwin Creek Gardens, a lavender sprout was noticed that looked different from the rest. The leaves were more silvery. The shape was looser but elegant. And it just… kept blooming.

 

It was watched for seasons. Cuttings taken and grown out. They were tested it in containers, in the ground, indoors, outdoors. And what was found was something special enough to name and share.

That’s how Goodwin Creek Grey came to be.

This hybrid is closely related to historic French lavender hybrids such as Lavandula × heterophylla and Lavandula × allardii, sharing their long bloom period and ornamental foliage. Its slightly pungent aroma, long stems, and elegant form make it ideal for containers, landscapes, and trained topiaries.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

Goodwin Creek Grey has soft, silvery, slightly toothed leaves that look beautiful even when it’s not in bloom. The plant forms a semi-open to full shrub—never stiff, never messy.

When it blooms, the stems rise long and clean, carrying deep purple flowers above dull purple bracts and calyces. It’s graceful without trying to be flashy.

 

But the real surprise is how long it flowers.

 

In mild climates, it can bloom most of the year outdoors. And indoors—on a sunny windowsill, porch, or sunroom—it’s one of the most reliable winter-blooming lavenders we’ve ever grown.

WHY WE LOVE GROWING IT

  • We discovered it right here on our property
  • It blooms longer than almost any lavender we grow
  • The foliage stays beautiful year-round
  • It does well in containers and in the ground
  • It’s one of the best lavenders for winter bloom indoors
  • It makes a lovely small topiary

Its scent is a little stronger and more pungent than sweet English lavender, but many people love that sharper, classic lavender edge.

HOW IT GROWS

  • Plant type: Evergreen shrub
  • Sun: Full sun
  • Soil: Very well-drained soil
  • Water: Moderate—don’t let roots stay wet
  • Zones: 8–10
  • Growth habit: Semi-open to dense shrub

Good drainage matters more than rich soil. This plant likes its roots on the dry side.

SIZE & BLOOM

  • Mature size: About 3 ft. tall × 3 ft. wide
  • Stem length: 8–12 inches
  • Flower color: Deep purple
  • Foliage: Sage green to silvery gray
  • Fragrance: Slightly pungent

GROWING INDOORS

This is one of the few lavenders we truly recommend for indoor winter bloom.

For best results:

  • Give it at least 5 hours of direct sun daily
  • South-facing windows are best
  • Let soil dry slightly between waterings
  • Good air movement helps

BEST USES

  • Containers and patio plantings
  • Indoor winter-blooming lavender
  • Landscape focal points
  • Trained topiary
  • Mild-climate gardens

HOW TO KNOW IT’S RIGHT FOR YOU

Choose Goodwin Creek Grey if you:

  • Want a lavender with a real story
  • Love silver foliage year-round
  • Garden in mild climates—or grow indoors
  • Enjoy long bloom seasons
  • Like growing something truly unique

Off the couch and on the road
Format: Kindle
Even those who are happy in their circumstance may find themselves discontented with the sameness of their days. An adventure will relieve this, and perhaps we can make the adventure happen, and yet the sameness of our days is the very thing that holds us back. But then we read how someone actually did it, had a true adventure to match the best of our daydreams, and we think, I could do that, too! Beth Jusino’s Camino memoir is for everyone who has ever considered doing something extraordinary, something beyond everyday life. She freely admits her life was sedentary — as couch-bound as you or I — but then the notion of the Camino grew from daydream to impulse, and then became irresistible, and she was fortunate to have a husband who gladly came along. It’s a book of astonishing quality, the words well-chosen, each page proof of her craft. She engages us not only with her physical ordeal (which is considerable, until she finds better shoes along the way), but also with her wonderment at the things she sees, the people she meets on the way, and we are compelled along, turning each page to see what happens next. Her story is not only rich in anecdote but also in the wealth of reflection on what she sees and hears along the way. Some particular scenes that stay fixed in memory are her encounters with a flock of sheep she meets at just the point when she needs them — a Camino miracle! — and also her descriptions of the great storks in their huge nests on all the church steeples and other high points along the way. Again and again I marked passages in the text so that I may come back and enjoy them once more. It’s also a love story, and the measure of this is the way we begin to anticipate her moments of particular challenge when her husband will do whatever needs doing or say whatever she needs to hear. It’s his story as well as hers, and she knows this and sets it down, and in so doing, tells us that perhaps she could not have finished her journey without him. Those who have walked any part of the road to Santiago will relive moments in familiar places and perhaps see what they missed the first time along the way and gain a new insight, a fresh view of what they overlooked before. And they may think, yes, I’ll go again! But if you’ve never had an adventure and Santiago is no more than the stuff of your daydreams, if you have so far only imagined such an undertaking, if the sameness of your days holds you back, then read this book. Then go out and do it. But make sure you buy the right shoes.

Walking from La Puy to Finisterre...a well written memoir
Format: Paperback
The key to writing a Camino book--at least from this reader's perspective--it to have a well-written, well-edited, and unique personal account of the adventure. I've read many Camino books that lack these three elements. WTTEOTW has all three elements and is a great addition to anyone's Camino library. The book is paced nicely and makes for an easy read. I was amused that the author had spent considerable time preparing for this trip yet seemed not to have absorbed some important information prior to the trip--e.g. appropriate footwear, the scramble for nightly accommodations, the frustrations that commonly occur while traveling in unfamiliar cultures. Her adjustments along the way provide humor and insight into preparing for things we've not yet experienced in our own lives.

really enjoyable
Format: Kindle
I'm thinking of doing the French route myself (starting in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port) and have been inhaling other people's stories of the route, whether blog or book form. The writing is engaging, and both funny and touching in places. I liked that the author is willing to note her own faults as much of those of others', but noted the strengths of herself and everyone around her as well. And her love for her husband jumped off the page, which I really appreciated! About halfway through the author's time in Spain I found myself on google maps--a surprising portion of the Camino is available on street view!--and yeah, now I *really* want to go. I'm thinking spring of 2023. Fingers crossed. EDIT: I read the book and wrote this review in late fall of 2021. It is currently March of 2023. I'm flying to France on April 17th, to start in St. Jean Pied de Port. :D EDIT, number two: The Camino was awesome, and I will probably do it again in a few years, and it was fun to reread this book after doing the Camino and be able to remember so many of the places she talks about. <3

Well written informative engaging and evocative
Format: Kindle
I've walked to Santiago twice, in 2016 at 65 from St. Jean and in 2019 from Le Puy and bought the book during the pandemic as I waxed nostalgic for the weeks on the road under load with beer bread and bed waiting each afternoon. Beth did a marvelous job of capturing her Camino and much of mine. I can see some of the sights again, the sunrises, the amazing stonework, the clothes drying in the afternoons, the passers by, the cultivated for centuries and still natural landscapes. I almost again feel the foot pain, the rain , the sun, the climbs, the descents, the hot cold on off showers, and the hugs. She helped me again hear the news from Radio Camino, the snoring in the gites and albergues, songs on the road, and the slightly tipsy and slightly loud cafe conversations. I could smell the the morning coffee bowl, the cheeses, the pastries, the animal dropping. And she helped me remember speedy young pilgrims, poor and semi-prosperous middle age Spaniards, paths that were old when followed by Charlemagne, D'Artagnan, and Roman legionnaires, and friends, companions and acquaintancesof all ages and duration. Very well done. Thank you Beth. Buen Camino...

Entertaining and informative
Format: Kindle
Walking the Camino has been on my bucket list for about 10 years and enjoy reading these types of books. Perhaps because of Justino's background, this is by far the most interesting and entertaining Camino story I've read. For me, it is just the right mix of her daily hiking experience along with a little historical background for context. Her subtle, sometimes self-degrading, humor is a bonus. At the end of the book she provided her daily destinations and miles walked along with a packing list which is something I wish more authors would provide. I'm in my 60's now and beginning to doubt if I will ever make the walk but after reading this book I'm still hoping.
