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.

How to take back what the thief has stolen
Format: Paperback
I took a long time to read this book so I could soak in and apply the principles laid out from God's Word. We have all been stolen from in some way or another, whether it has been failed relationships, finances, health, or even what we feel is our calling or destiny. The good news is that we can stand on God's Word and take back what the thief has stolen. I am still applying what I have learned to have faith that God will restore the years that the locusts have eaten

Much needed in the world we live in.
Format: Paperback
As a black man with Autism, this feel like a much needed read. Even though I just started reading it, this book is relatable to my life because I feel like some of the body of Christ is constantly demonizing Autism as it's like a curse and that to me is a spit to my face especially one who knows and loves God. A must get.

Powerful and Hard-Hitting
Format: Paperback
This book explores how racism and disability justice issues intersect and intertwine, particularly within the American church. Lamar Hardwick writes from his perspective as an autistic Black pastor, and his recent battles with cancer also inform his writing. He takes an incisive look at the ways that people sideline and make judgments about "abnormal" bodies, and he explores how different racist and ableist ideas developed in early American history, primarily related to enslaved Africans. Because I share Hardwick's interest in American history, I was already familiar with most of this information, but it will be new and eye-opening for many readers. Hardwick clearly explains the historical connection between ableism and racism, showing how people justified slavery by arguing that Black people were intellectually inferior, were childlike, and should not have agency over their own lives. Hardwick explores both glaring and subtle implications of this ideology, and he makes a number of very excellent points. He is bold and doesn't mince words, and he explains complicated, abstract ideas in accessible terms. He also touches on a variety of side issues to his main thesis, such as desirability politics, body shame, and issues with grind culture. Hardwick gives examples of how early American Christians contributed to pervasive cultural problems, and he also shares contemporary stories to show how problematic ideas cause harm in real life. His personal stories add a lot to the book, and I appreciate his honesty and vulnerability. I also appreciate how Hardwick uses Scripture throughout the book, especially when he is writing about disability theology. Some similar books focus primarily on personal experiences and secular social justice theories, with only loose Scriptural connections, but Hardwick bases his arguments in specific Bible passages and the big story of Scripture. I disagree with some of his interpretations, but found his arguments significantly more persuasive than ones I've seen before. One confusing, weaker element of this book is that Hardwick begins using "ableism" as a catch-all term for any kind of hierarchy of human value. Even though different forms of discrimination can overlap in complex ways, Hardwick often uses the word "ableism" in cases where there isn't a direct reference to physical or mental abilities. Because he stretches this word's definition, readers who are new to this conversation may struggle to follow his arguments at times. My other critique is that even though Hardwick is accurate and persuasive in his coverage of historical wrongs in the American church, he sometimes makes it sound like all of these issues started with American Christianity. Even though we can trace back particular expressions of racism and ableism to influential people like Cotton Mather, the root issues are part of the human condition. Many Christians throughout time have absorbed harmful ideas from their societies and expressed these assumptions in Christian language, but they weren't inventing these forms of oppression. Also, even though people created specific racist beliefs to justify the institution of slavery, ableism has been an issue in all cultures since the beginning of time. Christianity began in a cultural context where it was normal and acceptable for parents to discard female and disabled infants to die in the elements, and early Christian advocacy is part of why that is so gut-wrenching and unthinkable to us now. Even though Hardwick's analysis is helpful, it's only part of the story. I think that he could have balanced it out better with more context, while still holding the same American historical figures accountable for their sins and failings. "How Ableism Fuels Racism" covers a variety of issues in a thought-provoking, engaging way. I appreciate the author's historical analysis, thoughtful reflections, and personal stories, and I would recommend this book to people who are invested the topic. Also, even though some aspects of this book might be confusing for people who haven't read anything like this before, the author's accessible writing style, clear explanations, and personal stories can help engage readers who are new to the topic. Overall, I was impressed with this book and am interested in reading more from this author.
