Ghostly Princess Lavender Uses in Phoenix Landscapes

Elegant Border & Edging Plant

At just 1.5–2 feet tall, Ghostly Princess is perfectly sized for borders along walkways, patios, and garden beds. Space plants 18–24 inches apart for a continuous silvery-pink ribbon that releases fragrance as people walk by. The compact mounding habit stays neat without constant pruning, making it ideal for low-maintenance Scottsdale and Mesa landscapes.

Color Contrast in Desert Gardens

The unique silver-pink color palette makes Ghostly Princess a designer's favorite for creating contrast in desert landscapes. Pair with deep purple Texas Sage, orange Chuparosa, or yellow Desert Marigold for a striking color combination. The silvery foliage bridges warm and cool tones, making it one of the most versatile accent plants for Tempe and Peoria xeriscapes.

Fragrant Container & Courtyard Planting

Ghostly Princess thrives in containers and raised planters, making it perfect for Phoenix courtyards, balconies, and pool areas. The aromatic foliage releases fragrance in the warm evening air, and the compact size keeps it proportional in pots. Use decorative terracotta or glazed containers for a Mediterranean courtyard feel in Glendale and Paradise Valley.

Best Time to Plant Ghostly Princess Lavender in Phoenix

Fall (October–November) is the ideal planting window. Warm soil encourages fast root establishment while cooler air reduces transplant stress. Your plant gets 6–8 months of root development before its first summer. Spring (February–March) is also excellent — just stay on top of watering as temperatures rise. Avoid planting in peak summer heat.

How to Plant Ghostly Princess Lavender

  1. Dig wide, not deep — 2–3x the root ball width, same depth
  2. Check for caliche — break through any hardpan layer. Lavender demands fast drainage.
  3. Backfill with native soil — add perlite or coarse sand if drainage is slow. Skip heavy compost.
  4. Spacing — 18–24 inches apart for borders; 2 feet for individual specimens
  5. Water basin — build a shallow ring for initial watering only
  6. Mulch — 1–2 inches of gravel mulch (not bark). Gravel keeps the crown dry and reflects heat, which lavender loves.

Watering Ghostly Princess Lavender in Phoenix

First Year Watering Schedule

  • Weeks 1–2: Every 1–2 days, deep and slow (15–20 min)
  • Month 1–2: Every 3–4 days
  • Month 3–6: Every 7–10 days (5–7 days in peak summer)
  • After Year 1: Every 10–14 days summer; every 3–4 weeks winter

Drip Irrigation

Place 1 emitter 6–12 inches from the base, delivering 1 GPH. Established lavender is extremely sensitive to overwatering — this is the number one cause of lavender failure in Phoenix. When in doubt, keep it dry. Yellowing leaves or a leggy appearance usually means too much water.

How is Ghostly Princess different from regular French Lavender?
Ghostly Princess is a named cultivar of Lavandula stoechas selected for its unique soft pink and silver coloring. Standard French Lavender has deeper purple flowers. Ghostly Princess tends to be slightly more compact and has a more distinctive silver sheen to its foliage.

Is Ghostly Princess Lavender fragrant?
Yes — the foliage and flowers both carry a classic lavender scent. While not quite as strong as English Lavender, the fragrance is noticeable when you brush against the plant or harvest stems. It's especially lovely in evening garden strolls when Phoenix air temperatures cool.

Does it bloom all year in Phoenix?
The main bloom period runs spring through summer with multiple flushes. In mild Phoenix winters, you may see sporadic blooms as well. Deadheading spent flower spikes encourages repeat blooming and keeps the plant looking tidy.

Is it deer and rabbit resistant?
Yes — like all lavenders, the strong essential oils make Ghostly Princess unpalatable to deer and rabbits. It's one of the most pest-free perennials you can plant in the Phoenix Valley.

  • Fernleaf Lavender — unique cut-leaf variety with blue-violet flowers
  • Russian Sage — tall, airy purple-blue spires that complement lavender

  • Bush Germander — compact Mediterranean shrub with purple flowers

How Many Ghostly Princess Lavender Do I Need?

This lavender matures to about 1.5 to 2 feet wide, so space plants on 18 to 24 inch centers for a continuous border. Use this guide (at 2 ft spacing):

Border length Plants needed
5 ft 3 plants
10 ft 5 plants
20 ft 10 plants
40 ft 20 plants

Tighten to 18 inch spacing for a faster, fuller fragrant ribbon, or use single plants as 2 ft specimens in containers and courtyards.

Ghostly Princess Lavender Season-by-Season in Phoenix

  • Spring (Feb to Apr): Main bloom begins, the silver-pink bracts rise on fresh growth. Best second planting window of the year and a great time to deadhead for repeat flushes.
  • Summer (May to Sep): Continues blooming in flushes through the heat and reflected heat off walls. Keep it lean and dry: monsoon humidity and overwatering are the main risks, so back off irrigation to prevent crown rot.
  • Fall (Oct to Nov): Prime planting season. Cooler nights tidy the plant and roots establish quickly in warm soil.
  • Winter (Dec to Jan): Evergreen silver foliage holds through the season and may toss out sporadic blooms in a mild winter. Cold-hardy in the Valley with no frost protection needed.

At a Glance

✔ Pollinator-Friendly   ✔ Heat-Loving (Reflected-Heat Tolerant)   ✔ Drought-Tolerant   ✔ Evergreen   ✔ Low-Maintenance   ✔ Deer & Rabbit-Resistant   ✔ Cold-Hardy to 10°F

Plant It With

  • French Lavender: deeper purple Spanish lavender to layer with the silver-pink for a richer lavender border.
  • Fernleaf Lavender: lacy cut-leaf lavender that adds a finer texture alongside it.
  • Gaura White: airy white butterfly blooms that float above the pink bracts.
  • Bush Germander: silver Mediterranean shrub with blue flowers that echoes the foliage tone.

Is Ghostly Princess Lavender Right for Your Yard?

Ghostly Princess is ideal for full-sun borders, courtyards, and containers with fast-draining soil where you want fragrance, silver foliage, and soft pink color on a low water budget. It is cold-hardy in the Valley and shrugged off by deer and rabbits. It is not a fit for shady spots or heavy, slow-draining clay, where excess moisture rots the crown; in those areas keep it in raised beds or gravelly soil instead.

Very Interesting and Important Book
Format: Hardcover
It took me a long time to read this book, but I highlighted and took notes all over it. It’s absolutely fascinating and well researched and I personally think it should be required reading in seminaries across the nation. Understanding how Christianity as a religion penetrated the fabric of American politics after FDR’s presidency and the New Deal is an important part of understanding American politics in the first place. I also realized what bothered me about this in the first place. Our founding fathers specifically wrote the bill of rights and the constitution to protect freedom of religion and also to keep it out of state affairs. This unfortunately is not what happened throughout the last 60 years. It is clear that prominent Christian figures throughout the decades have infiltrated American politics, some more than others. In my younger years I was oblivious to this and in some instances promoted American Christianity in the political discourse. After many years of intense research and study I understood why that is not healthy for our republican constitutional form of government. Ever Since president Regan said the famous words “God Bless America” at the end of a speech, the phrase has been shoved down the ears of the American populace over and over again by political leaders to this very day. The playing of the National Anthem synonymous with “God Bless America” phrases and tunes has also in my opinion and observations, contributed to religious nationalistic patriotism. And although I am by no means against loving and appreciating one’s country, I also see the coercive methods of these efforts and am concerned that is creates a blind sense of obedience to the state under a religious umbrella which tarnishes Christianity as a whole. I also acknowledge that having the state influence, dictate and decide what is right for our lives is just as unhealthy and dangerous. If looked at from a practical standpoint, understanding the founding documents of our nation’s founding and establishment is exactly what keeps the healthy political balance alive. I did have one issue with the authors writing and interpretation which significantly bothered me. The author categorized members such as Billy Graham and James Fifield among other pioneers of the movement as Christian Libertarians. I wholeheartedly disagree with that title. If one studies and understands the core of what Libertarianism is about, it is specifically against forcing or coercing any particular religion regardless of political or social means especially through the state. Libertarians acknowledge the right to believe in a religion or no religion. The fact that Reverend Graham utilized his religious position to influence politics is very much anti-libertarian and a vast majority of libertarians will very likely agree with that position. I suggest the author study libertarianism a bit more and do more research before tainting that label. Despite that hurdle, I still thought this was a very good and important book.

Essential History for Retaining Reason and Rationality for Guiding the Nation
Awesome book on the History of people, themes and big money, corporate used in an attempt to make one religion the National Religion while neutering the First Amendment. It is true to it's title in detailing how Corporations and Religion came together to fight the New Deal of FDR. These two self serving entities fought for control of the people but did almost nothing to avert wide spread hunger and homelessness in the depression. The fortunes of corporations and insistence of religions on controlling the minds of people to produce jobs in their own occupations outweighed the immediate needs of the jobless and homeless. The opulent lifestyles of the big religions and their organizers came first over the health and welfare of the country, just like it had in Medieval Europe, where the Aristocrats and the Christian Churches ran the Continent. These two institutions were responsible for keeping Democracy out of Europe and ultimately creating the Soviet Revolutions in Russia that attempted to spread to the rest of the World. What is clear, from many books on this subject, that "Under God" means being subservient to God, the word of which comes from God's messengers. Subservience Under God means that when the opinions of the People differ from those of God as told through the Messenger, then God wins and the People Shut Up. Those that don't face stiff penalties. Fabulous History that everyone should know if they want to perpetuate a Democracy. The Roman Empire was "One Nation Under God", because the Christian Religion was the only legal Religion and it had only One God - no others were allowed and this was enforced with the sword. Rome will return to America if we are not careful.

Stranded on third base
Format: Hardcover
Prof. Kruse wanders away from the promise of the subtitle of his book--"How corporate America Invented Christian America." He almost gets there when he describes the ideological opposition of the wealthy to F.D.R's "New Deal." and their caricature of the "social gospel" as Communist propaganda. His description of Truman's encounter with Billy Graham is wonderful. For a book published in 2015, Kruse makes only slight mention of the fact that the politics of money and religion in contemporary times becomes more pernicious every day. The main body of the book drifts into redundant detail about "who prayed with who" and the spiritual influence of prominent evangelists on presidents from Eisenhower to Bush with only faint reference to their ties with the Capitalist agenda. He portrays wealthy Christians as true religious zealots when, in fact, they and many of the politicians they supported were likely hypocrites using religion as a wedge issue to increase their power and pursue their agenda of unregulated Capitalism. It is remarkable that Kruse entirely fails to mention the Koch brothers--billionaires who bankroll countless ultra right-wing politicians with evangelical agendas, while they, themselves, are apparently Ayn-Rand-style libertarian atheists interested only in a social-Darwinian, Capitalist heaven. Prof. Kruse leaves us stranded on third base, when he could have hit a home run!

Horrific Voter Suppression
Format: Paperback
This is a very well documented book about voter suppression in America. It was interesting to see that before the Jim Crow era, black people voted, were elected to office, got educations and did fairly well. With Jim Crow, horrific voter suppression began (lynchings, etc.). In the early days it was the Southern Democrats and the KKK. As time went on the methods simply became more devious. In the 1930s FDR began attempting to attract black voters to the party. By the end of WWII we had "Dixiecrats". By the time the time the Civil Rights Act was passed, the transition was complete and those Southern Democrats were now members of the GOP. (Much of that bit of history is not in the book, but you'll want to look it up.) The GOP is now the master of voter suppression, and you can see it pretty much everywhere but especially in Georgia, Texas, Minnesota and many southern states. The book is chock full or examples, case histories and stories of resistance. It made me want to sell my house and give the money to the ACLU, NAACP, and SPLC to defend our most precious right (not privilege) to vote.

This is a MUST read!!
Format: Kindle
This book is a must read! I was just not aware of the extent of the planned, organized, deliberate and insidious actions that the Republican Party has taken to suppress votes from the disenfranchised and the impact that has on our Democracy. I am stricken by the horror of what has been happening now for YEARS and is still going on today!! Carol Anderson has compiled hard data to demonstrate the pervasiveness of the many voter suppression steps that have been taken across many states, primarily in the deep south, but not exclusive to the south. It’s very difficult to take reams of data and put it into a coherent, logical sequence that can be easily understood but she is masterful at making her book eminently readable. This is a very data driven book but I had no trouble getting through it. The conclusion did have some hopeful information relaying steps that some states are taking to increase voter participation which did give me some hope. I am so glad that I read this and I think we all should be informed on this issue as it is central to our state as a country.
