The Lavandua Superblue or Lavandula angustifolia Superblue, is a cold-hardy, drought-tolerant, and richly hued variety of lavender known for its deep blue-purple flowers and ease of cultivation.  

This English lavender cultivar is loved for its intense, vivid blooms, which make it a striking addition to both gardens and containers. ‘Superblue’ is highly prized for its aromatic foliage, drought tolerance, and ability to thrive in various growing conditions. As a versatile plant, it attracts pollinators and is perfect for borders, herb gardens, and rock gardens, bringing beauty and utility with its fragrant presence. 

Lavandula ‘Superblue’ is named for its exceptionally rich blue-purple flowers, which are more intense than most other lavender varieties. The Superblue lavender is native to the Mediterranean region, particularly in the rocky, sun-drenched hillsides of southern Europe. Today lavender is growing worldwide, with ‘Superblue’ flourishing in USDA hardiness zones 5-9.

One of the standout features of Lavandula ‘Superblue’ is its compact, bushy growth habit, which typically grows up to 1 foot tall and spreads about 1 foot wide. Its leaves are grayish-green, narrow, and finely textured, adding a silvery accent to its deep purple blooms.

The plant’s dense foliage creates a lush mound, making it an ideal choice for edging pathways or filling smaller garden spaces. Superblue lavender retains its neat, tidy shape with minimal pruning, adding a controlled yet vibrant touch to any landscape. 

The flowers of Lavandula ‘Superblue’ blooms in early to mid-summer and produce tall spikes of fragrant, blue-violet flowers that are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. The blooms rise gracefully above the foliage, creating a visually striking contrast with the silvery-green leaves. The flowers emit a classic lavender scent, and their rich color persists throughout the bloom cycle, adding a long-lasting splash of color to garden beds and containers. 

Its flowers can be harvested and dried for use in potpourris, or sachets, bringing their calming fragrance indoors. In gardens, the plant’s fragrance can help deter pests, and its flowers attract beneficial pollinators.  

Lavender is also popular essential oil that is used in herbal medicine and aromatherapy for its soothing, stress-relieving properties. Furthermore, it’s an ideal companion plant, blending well with other drought-tolerant species like sage, rosemary, and thyme. 

When and How to Water Superblue Lavander 

The Lavandula Superblue is a drought-tolerant plant that requires minimal watering once established. This means watering the plant thoroughly when the soil is dry to a depth of about 1-2 inches. It's essential to allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot and other issues caused by overwatering.

In the spring and summer, during the growing season, you can water the Lavandula Superblue plant approximately once every 7-10 days, depending on the weather conditions and soil drainage. It's important to adjust the watering frequency based on factors like temperature, humidity, and rainfall. During hot and dry periods, you may need to water the plant more frequently, while in cooler or rainy weather, you can reduce the watering frequency. 

In the fall and winter months, you should reduce watering to allow the plant to enter a period of dormancy. Water the plant sparingly, only when the soil is dry to the touch, about every 2-3 weeks. This reduced watering schedule helps mimic the plant's natural growth cycle and prevents waterlogging during the plant's dormant phase.

By understanding the seasonal watering needs of the Lavander Superblue plant and adjusting your watering routine accordingly, you can help promote healthy growth and ensure the plant thrives in its environment. Remember to always monitor the soil moisture levels and adapt your watering schedule based on the plant's specific requirements to maintain its overall health and vigor. 

Light Requirements – Where to Place Your Superblue Lavender 

When grown indoors it’s essential to place your superblue lavender in a location where it can receive ample bright, indirect sunlight. A south-facing window is ideal for providing the plant with the necessary sunlight it needs for healthy growth.

If a south-facing window is not available, you can supplement the light with a grow light to ensure the lavender receives adequate light exposure.

For outdoor cultivation, Lavandula Superblue plants thrive in full sunlight. These plants require at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily to flourish.

Choose a spot in your garden or landscape that receives plenty of sunlight throughout the day. In regions with hot summers, providing some afternoon shade can help protect the plant from intense heat and sunburn.

Indoor Lavandula SuperBlue plants may benefit from spending time outdoors during the warmer months. If you choose to move your lavender plant outdoors, gradually acclimate it to direct sunlight to prevent sunburn. Start by placing the plant in a partially shaded area and gradually increase the exposure to full sunlight over a few days.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs

The Superblue Lavender plants prefer well-draining soil with a slightly alkaline pH level 5.9 to 6.2. A sandy or loamy soil mix with good drainage is ideal for Lavandula Superblue. You can improve soil drainage by adding perlite or coarse sand to the soil mix to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Planet Desert has specialized potting soil, opens in a new tab that includes an organic substrate with mycorrhizae to help with the growth of a healthy root system to help your plants to thrive. 

When it comes to fertilizing Lavandula Superblue, it's important not to over-fertilize as these plants are sensitive to excess nutrients. Fertilize the plant sparingly to avoid causing damage. A balanced, NPK fertilizer formulated for flowering plants can be applied in the spring as new growth begins. Alternatively, you can use a diluted liquid fertilizer once a year during the growing season to provide your superblue lavender with essential nutrients. 

By selecting the right soil mix, ensuring proper drainage, and providing appropriate fertilization, you can help your Lavandula Superblue plant thrive and produce healthy growth and vibrant blooms. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

When growing indoors, Lavandula Superblue plants thrive bright, indirect sunlight with temperatures between 60-70°F during the day and slightly cooler temperatures at night. They prefer moderate humidity levels, around 40-50%.  

For outdoor cultivation, Superblue lavender plants are typically suited for USDA zones 5-9. They require full sunlight exposure, receiving at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and blooming.

They prefer temperatures ranging from 70-90°F during the day and slightly cooler temperatures at night. Lavender plants thrive in low to moderate humidity levels, around 30-40%.

How to Propagate Superblue Lavender 

The Superblue lavender can be propagated through stem cuttings. To do this, select a healthy stem and cut it just below a leaf node. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone before planting it in well-draining soil. Keep the cutting moist and in a warm, sunny location to encourage root growth. After a few weeks, roots should begin to form and the cutting can be transplanted into their own pot or garden bed. Remember to water regularly and provide adequate sunlight for optimal growth.

Color: Multi Squeaker Balls, Size: Medium, Style: 4-Pack
This dog squeak ball has been a big hit in my home and keeps my dog entertained for long periods of time. The squeaker really grabs their attention and encourages play, tapping into their natural instincts to chase and fetch. My dog especially loves how it bounces and squeaks, making it perfect for both indoor and outdoor play. It’s lightweight and easy for them to carry around, even for quick games of fetch in the yard. In terms of durability, it has held up pretty well so far. The squeaker may not last forever with heavy use, but the ball itself still stays in good shape. Overall, it’s a fun, engaging toy that keeps my dog active and happy.

budget friendly for dogs who lose balls in the creek
Color: Multi Squeaker Balls, Size: Medium, Style: 4-Pack
Not great quality, but works for our needs. I have a ball crazy lab. She loves for me to throw a ball using the Chuck-it Ball Launcher. We do this in our wide back yard that butts up to a creek. At some point during her run and fetch, she will take a quick detour right into the creek. She nearly always still has the ball, but once in awhile it is lost. Not wanting to chance it on more pricy (and more durable) balls, I get these or something like these. They dont cost much, yet they do the job. I' not upset if one gets sacrificed to the creek waters and mud. Since the balls end up getting wet often, they will kinda fall apart over time (chasing, kicking, throwing, retrieving, dog saliva etc). But she doesn't chew on them. Glad she doesnt as tennis balls arent good on teeth, but even if it was ok, the balls probably would be breached easily. SO get these if you are like me and want a ball that does the job but arent a total financial loss if get lost or destroyed. For indoor play we and by we I mean our 3 dogs demand that we use the rubbery max glow chuck-it ball. And will ignore this style ball. Yes, I am well trained. lol

These balls SUCK! External squeakers, minimal bounce and blue that is too dark.
Color: Multi Squeaker Balls, Size: X-Small, Style: 8-Pack
We have 2 little dogs in our home - a 1.5 year old Pomsky, and a 9 year old Pekingese. My Peke has shown no interest in tennis balls for years, until today! Imagine my excitement! Until she promptly destroyed the first squeaker on one of the blue balls. When I removed it, she began peeling the logos off the ball, and then started tearing the fuzz off! My dog has never destroyed any toy in her life, so this was shocking! Then the Pomsky decided that she wanted to play fetch with the new balls - she has Golden Retriever energy - and decided to destroy a squeaker in the midst of playing! She also wasn't nearly as interested in these tennis balls as her other tennis balls that she inherited from my Peke. 1. STUPID design, with the squeakers sticking out of the balls (the don't sit flush), so they are asking to get chewed or pulled out by any dog, even elderly 10 lb dogs! And a 9 lb young adult. 2. They are difficult to squeak compared to their Kong tennis balls, hence why the Pomsky wasn't interested for long. 3. They don't bounce as much as the Kong tennis balls, either, which made them less than exciting for the athletic and agile Pomsky. Meh. We wanted to get the smallest tennis balls we could get (1.5 inch) because neither dog will play with the 2 inch or bigger ones, but we also wanted to get colors they could easily see! The Pomsky clearly prefers the yellow balls to any other color (red, orange, green, darker blue, watermelon design), so we wanted to get like a bright blue or turquoise couple of balls to appeal to them! Well, my senior Peke liked the blue ones the most, but also liked the red and orange. Pomsky didn't like the blue ones. I think they're too dark of a blue to be easily seen in our home afternoons and evenings in the winter. We love Outward Hound toys in our house, but these were an expensive FLOP. They are the right size, but WHY did they put the squeakers so visible and appealing to dogs? I've never seen the squeaker in the Kong tennis balls. My advice is that Kong seems to make the best tennis balls for toy breeds, in the 1.5" size. Outward Hound dropped the ball here... no pun intended. The blue is darker than the photos depict (may be better in natural sunlight outdoors), the squeakers are external, and they barely bounce at all. Our next step will be to get the pressurized bright blue tennis balls from another brand, in hopes that the bounce and visibility will outweigh the lack of squeakiness. If those don't work, I guess we'll stick to the classic neon yellow Kong tennis balls! At my local Target, they only have multicolor packs of them, and the dark blue, red and green get completely ignored. *Dogs can only see shades of blues, yellows and black, grey and white. While some dogs may not seem to care about color, our Pomsky clearly does. :(

My Dog Loves Them
Color: Multi Squeaker Balls, Size: Small, Style: 8-Pack
These cute little squeaky balls are the perfect size for my Shih Tzu. She loves to chew on them and make them squeak all the time, so they are durable. I would purchase them again.

Not super durable but good squeak while they work
Color: Multi Squeaker Balls, Size: Large, Style: 4-Pack
My dog loves these but they break very quickly. I've got an older set that was incredibly durable, but these all stopped squeaking/got holes after the first or second play session
