Reserve now for Spring 2027 delivery.
Grown for northern gardens • Ships during your spring planting window
What you receive: A young nursery-grown lavender plant, strongly rooted and approximately 4–6 inches tall at shipping. Our plants are propagated from mother plants that have successfully overwintered on our Upper Peninsula farm. Live plants naturally vary somewhat in size and appearance.
Lavender for gardeners who don't have Mediterranean winters. Drainage, snow cover, freeze-thaw cycles, airflow, and spring moisture matter here. Farm winter survival is useful real-world experience, not a guarantee for every site.

Growing SuperBlue Lavender in Michigan and Northern Gardens
Grow in full sun and very well-drained soil. Sandy, gravelly, lean, or raised planting areas are preferable to heavy or consistently wet soil, particularly during winter and spring thaw.
In northern gardens, drainage and winter moisture management can be just as important as minimum temperature. Avoid low areas where water collects around the crown or roots, and allow enough airflow around the plant to help foliage and crowns dry after wet weather.
Perfect For
- Containers and smaller spaces
- Path and border edging
- Raised beds
- Culinary and herb gardens
- Pollinator plantings
- Gardeners who want a compact lavender with rich color
Grown at Pause Lavender Farm
Pause Lavender Farm grows and observes lavender in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where winter cold, spring moisture, freeze-thaw cycles, drainage, snow cover, and wind all influence how a variety performs.
We continue testing and learning from our lavender each season rather than assuming every cultivar will respond the same way in northern conditions.
Planting and Care
Planting & Site Selection
Planting & Site Selection
Plant lavender in full sun, ideally where it receives at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight each day.
Excellent drainage is essential. Choose raised or well-drained planting areas with sandy, gravelly, or otherwise fast-draining soil. Avoid locations where water sits around the roots, especially during winter and spring thaw.
Allow enough space between plants for good air circulation.
Watering & Pruning
Watering & Pruning
Water regularly while newly planted lavender becomes established. Once established, water deeply but less frequently and allow the soil to dry between waterings.
Prune lightly after flowering or when new growth begins in spring. Avoid cutting deeply into old woody stems.
Harvesting Lavender
Harvesting Lavender
For fragrance, drying, or culinary use where appropriate, harvest flower stems as the first flowers begin to open.
Cut stems in dry weather after morning moisture has evaporated. Bundle loosely and dry out of direct sunlight with good air circulation.
Grown at Pause Lavender Farm
Our lavender plants are grown at Pause Lavender Farm in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula using organic growing practices and without synthetic pesticides.
We grow lavender in a northern climate ourselves, so our plant selections and growing guidance are shaped by real experience with cold winters, drainage challenges, and short growing seasons.
