The Goodwin Creek lavender, known as Lavandula ‘Goodwin Creek’ is a popular lavender variety known for its striking silvery-grey foliage, deep purple-blue flowers with long bloom time, and rich fragrance. Its versatility, beauty, and ability to attract pollinators have earned it a place in many Mediterranean-style gardens. Besides Opuntia, this Goodwin Creek is one of the few cold hardy plants that withstand winter temperatures as low as -20 °F. 

Native to the Mediterranean region, the Lavandula ‘Goodwin Creek’ is often referred to by several common names, including French Lavender, or Lavender ‘Goodwin Creek Grey’. These names reflect its appearance, heritage, and its affinity with the broader family of French lavenders. 

The Goodwin Creek Lavender is a relatively compact lavender variety, that can grow up to 3 feet tall and 2 feet wide

Its moderate size makes it ideal for borders, garden beds, or containers, offering a neat and well-rounded form that can be pruned to maintain its shape.

The most notable feature of Goodwin Creek Lavender is its soft, woolly, grey-green leaves, which are finely toothed and give the plant a distinct, textured appearance.

The shrub’s foliage emits a calming lavender scent, even when brushed against lightly. The flowers of Goodwin Creek Lavender are a deep purple-blue, blooming from late spring through fall.

The long-lasting blooms are perfect for cut flower arrangements, dried flowers, or simply enjoying in the garden. The flowering spikes are long and graceful, emerging on tall stems that rise above the silvery foliage.

Goodwin Creek lavender is also known for its soothing aroma and potential calming effects, making it a popular choice for aromatherapy and relaxation purposes. Its gentle nature makes it suitable for direct skin contact, such as in homemade bath products or as a natural air freshener.  

When and How to Water Your Goodwin Creek Lavender 

When it comes to watering, it's important to strike a balance, as lavender plants, including Goodwin Creek lavender, are drought-tolerant once established. Once the lavender is established, usually after the first year, you can reduce the frequency of watering. During this stage, Goodwin Creek lavender prefers drier conditions. Depending on the climate and weather, watering every two to three weeks should suffice. 

From spring through early fall, during the growing season, regular watering is crucial, especially in the first year after planting, to help the roots develop properly. It's recommended to water deeply once a week, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. This promotes healthy root growth and prevents overwatering. 

In the late fall and winter, during the dormant season, when the plant's growth slows, significantly reduces watering. Only water if the soil becomes very dry, as lavender can suffer from root rot if the soil remains too wet during this period. 

Light Requirements – Where to Place Your Goodwin Creek Lavender 

When grown indoors, your Lavandula Goodwin Creek thrives best in a bright, sunny location. A south-facing window is ideal, as it provides the maximum amount of sunlight throughout the day. For optimal growth, the plant should receive at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily.  

For outdoor cultivation, Goodwin Creek lavender also requires full sun to thrive. Planting it in a location that receives at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day is crucial.

This exposure helps the plant to develop its aromatic oils and vibrant blooms, which are characteristic of this lavender variety. Additionally, planting in a well-drained area is important, as lavender prefers dry conditions, and excess moisture can lead to root rot.

It's worth noting that while Goodwin Creek lavender can tolerate some light shade, prolonged periods in low-light conditions can hinder its growth and flowering.

Therefore, choosing the right spot in your garden is vital. If you're in a hotter climate, some afternoon shade can be beneficial to prevent the plant from becoming stressed due to excessive heat. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Goodwin Creek lavender thrives best in well-drained soil that mimics its natural habitat. The optimal soil type for this lavender variety is sandy or gravelly soil which allows for excellent drainage. A pH level between 6.0 and 7.0 is ideal, as lavender prefers slightly alkaline conditions.

If your garden soil is heavy or clay-like, it's advisable to amend it with sand or perlite to improve drainage. This will help prevent root rot, which can occur if the roots sit in waterlogged conditions. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally use our specialized potting mixGo to planetdesert.com/collections/soil-top-dressing-and-amendments/products/soil-cactus-mix-blend-1-gal-4-qt-cacti-succulent-dirt-compost-growing-media that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your Lavender plant to thrive. 

When it comes to fertilization, Goodwin Creek lavender has relatively low nutrient requirements compared to many other plants. Over-fertilizing can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers, which is not desirable for lavender. A light application of a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring can promote healthy growth, but it’s essential to follow the manufacturer's instructions to avoid applying too much. Alternatively, using organic fertilizers, such as compost or well-rotted manure, can provide the necessary nutrients without the risk of over-fertilization.

If you prefer a more tailored approach, you can also use a fertilizer that is specifically formulated for flowering plants, as this can encourage blooming. However, it's best to apply fertilizers sparingly, as lavender is adapted to thrive in less nutrient-rich environments. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

When grown indoors, the Lavandula Goodwin Creek thrives in temperatures ranging from 60 to 75 °F. It's important to maintain a consistent temperature, as lavender does not tolerate extreme fluctuations. Additionally, indoor humidity levels should be kept relatively low, ideally between 30% to 50%. High humidity can lead to fungal issues, so ensuring good air circulation around the plant is essential. Placing the lavender near a sunny window or using grow lights can help maintain the right temperature and light conditions for healthy growth. 

For outdoor cultivation, Goodwin Creek lavender is hardy in USDA hardiness zones 6 to 9. This means it can withstand winter temperatures as low as -20 °F. This range makes it suitable for various climates, but it's crucial to ensure that the plant is not exposed to excessive moisture during the winter months, as this can lead to root rot. 

The ideal temperature during the growing season is between 70 to 85 °FWhile lavender can tolerate some heat, excessively high temperatures above 90 °F can stress the plant, especially if combined with high humidity. Therefore, in hotter climates, providing some afternoon shade can be beneficial.

Give me a little bit’a that Nicolai Roman Attano ANY DAY. 🥵
⭐️ 5 🌶 3 🚂 Peaky Blinders Vibes 🚂 Enemies to Lovers 🚂 Sexy + Sassy Banter 🚂 Marriage for Business 🚂 Unique Magic System 🚂 Dual POV I absolutely LOVED this book. The mafia/peaky blinders vibes — the lil’ steam punk feel mixed with magic and mayhem… add in the witty banter from Milla and Nico? ALEXIS, YOU DONE JUST ROCKED MY WORLD, FRIEND. What I Enjoyed: Nicolai. Roman. Attano.: Literally. This is all I’ve got to say to you, just read the book. The Banter: When I tell you the banter between Milla and Nico is iconic — I mean it. Scroll down for some of my favorites, but my my my, my core was HEATING and I was wriggling in my seat on the airplane, my friends. OOOOOMPH. Steampunk/ Peaky Blinders Vibes: I read this whole book with a feeling of mist on the ground, the flickering street lights, sound of a train horn, flapping of coat tails, and smell of cigarillo smoke. It was dark, broody, beautiful, and chilling. Add in a little wetness from morning dew and the scene has been set. Plot Twists & Turns: The amount of times my eyes bugged out of my head with “OMG NO WAY”, “WHAAAT”, and “BOOIIIIIII–” should almost be illegal. I didn’t see the twist at the end coming, I loved it! Brilliant! I feel like House of Bane and Blood didn’t even allow me the opportunity to guess what would happen next, because I just had no idea where Alexis would take it. Attano Family: I’m a sucker for a big family with many cousins, personalities, and a spicy Nonna. Throw in a kitchen scene or two and you’ve got me hooked. I loved the dynamic between the Attano family and how fast they came to bat for Milla. I throughly enjoyed getting to know the people behind Nicolai, and how they all support him and each other. What I Didn’t Like: The Minimal Insight on the Marchese Family: We aren’t really given much insight into the Marchese Family and Milla’s brothers. I understand this gives an ominous feel to the brothers — but I really wish we could have explored Giles and Milla’s relationship just a little bit more. I wish I understood more about the Twins than what was given. Although, I do understand the distance and the coldness, I personally just wanted a little more. Over All Thoughts The way I straight flew through this book — UGH. Adding Nico to my list of book boyfriends, and Alexis to my list of instant buy Authors. The way House of Bane and Blood is written is beautiful, it does not feel immature or overwhelming, there’s enough to keep you riveted and more and more unfolds with every chapter. Milla and Nico are a force to be reckoned with separately, but together? Indestructible! I cannot WAIT to see what happens in City of Mirth and Malice.

A Promising Start with a Complex Magic System
“House of Bane and Blood” delivers an engaging enemies-to-lovers romance wrapped in an arranged marriage trope, which was one of the strongest aspects of the book. The dynamic between Nico and Camilla was compelling, making their evolving relationship one of the highlights of the story. The plot itself was interesting and had a lot of potential. However, the complexity of the magic system was a drawback. The abundance of difficult names and terms made it challenging to fully grasp the world-building, leaving some aspects feeling more confusing than immersive. At times, it was hard to keep track of what was happening and who was who. Despite this, the book holds promise as the first installment of the series. With an intriguing setup and strong character chemistry, I’m excited to see where Book 2 takes the story. Hopefully, it will continue to build on its strengths while offering more clarity on its magical elements.

Outstanding Indie Fantasy! You NEED to read this!
I have started and deleted my intro to my review multiple times at this point. My mind is sufficiently BLOWN. This book has landed itself into my top favorite romantasies right alongside ACOTAR and FBAA. ITS SO DANG GOOD. I literally woke up, popped it open on my kindle app (Thanks author and R&R Book Tours for the arc!) and got to reading and just didn’t stop. I couldn’t stop. From the first dang page, Menard dragged my butt in and tied me down. I. Was. HOOKED. Writing Style: I absolutely love the writer’s style! Told from mainly Milla’s POV, with the occasional glance into Nico’s POV when its important. Her world building is rich and immersive, sticking firmly into the steampunk/gas lamp fantasy atmosphere. Her magic system—while feeling familiar—still feels unique and blends beautifully with the world she’s created. Characters: I can’t begin to describe how much I love the characters Menard has created for this story. Milla is a firestorm. She’s passionate, fiesty, loyal, and self confident. She doesn’t back down, no matter the odds. For me, personally, she’s ranking right up there with Feyre (ACOTAR), Poppy (FBAA), and Sera (FBAA prequel) as one of my favorite female leads. Despite her fierceness, she’s not invincible and she’s still vulnerable—which unveils itself more as the story goes on. Nico, mmmmmmmm, Nico. He’s cocky, and strong. His heart is for his blood and family. There’s nothing he won’t do for those he cares for. He’s incredibly insightful which leads to a lot of me squeeing and highlighting his quotes. Pairing him up with Milla is a riot I will watch again and again. The side characters are all phenomenal, ranging wide in personalities and giving the world a richer vibrancy. They compliment both main characters, bringing out the best and worst in them, helping to bring secrets to light and keep the plot going. Not a single character felt out of place, or ever out of character. Relationship: Y’all know I love a good slow burn and this burns so good. The push and pull of their hate/love relationship is a thrill to witness. Watching them fall for each other is a joy and the spice (when we get there) is HAWT. Plot: This story had me hooked, and that’s largely in thanks to how well planned out the story’s plot is. Menard did an excellent job, masterfully balancing her foreshadowing and reveals. While I halfway guessed the big reveal, i definitely did not expect the big reveal. (Read the book, then you’ll understand lmao). The pacing is fantastic. Nothing about the story felt rushed, not the relationship, not the reveals, not the over arching plot line. Just absolutely phenomenal. Enjoyment: 100/10 will read again. I need a physical copy in my life. I HIGHLY recommend this book.

One of the best reading experiences I’ve ever had
Format: Audiobook
This was truly AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! In every possible way. - the setting. I loved the steampunk/gaslamp setting with trains, overcast weather, and mafia vibes - the magic. I still don’t entirely understand the magic system and descendants as much and it took awhile for me to get my footing in that department- and I am intrigued beyond measure, though it in no way lessened my enjoyment of the story. I just really wish I had a better grasp of it. - the plot itself. Beautiful. The tropes were troping in the absolute best way. Every single thing that happened I was like YES MORE!!! - the writing. I found myself grinning ear to ear uncontrollably during my entire read through and full on choking on my gasps, again, like the entire read through. And I read this too at times when I was in an awful mood so the way this book was an INSTANT pick me up really speaks to how well this was written. I was having the absolute best time, non stop. - the characters. The best part oh my gosh. Camilla is SUCH a badass. Her and Nico are supposed to be low 20s and I gotta tell you they read more like 30s from how capable and mature they are (not that that age bracket is incapable or immature, just comparing them to other characters written in that age range). She is the type of cool as heck character that everyone would be cos-playing as and if it was a kid movie, every single girl would dress as her for Halloween. She’s that awesome. Nico is top freaking tier. I gotta say his hairstyle is my undoing and with the addition of the metal arm- before I even started reading the book I was in love with him. And he was EVEN BETTER than my lofty expectations. This man. Perfect in every single way. Every. Single. Way. If I start now I won’t stop so I’m just gonna leave it at that. Camilla and Nico are power couple of the century though and the way they interacted was the most toe-curling/squealing/kicking your feet banter I’ve read in a while. PLUS the way they fell for each other was a gem. I was falling in love with their relationship right along with them. - a shout out to the side characters too. Aramis, Gideon, Aunt Fran, Esme, Luther, Adler [honestly just insert all the supporting cast they were freaking phenomenal] brought so much life and personality to the story and helped round out Nico and Camilla. I really really really would absolutely adore if Adler got some more spotlight time in the future because he and Aramis are up there with “let’s give these side characters their own spinoffs”. Also, the villains were great too. I love a great villain in a story and sometimes I don’t think they get highlighted as much in books as in movies or TV that I hear of. If it wasn’t obvious already- this was even greater than a 5 star read. This was perfection- in quality and in vibes- and it was one of the most enjoyable reading experiences I have ever had and I’m not throwing that around lightly. I have scenes from this book playing in my mind unbidden on repeat and I know this world has so much more to be explored. I will read anything Alexis L Menard puts out in the future

Great mix of maffia and magic
Format: Kindle
This one felt really unique to me, with a great and successful blend of Twenties-feeling maffia and inventive magic. I liked both the main characters a lot, even though I found myself almost shouting at the MFC sometimes. She really should learn not to trust everyone just because they're family! All in all a good read, with lots of romance, yearning and some spice as well.
