Transform Your Garden with This Hardy, Fragrant Lavender That Blooms from Spring to Fall

Goodwin Creek Lavender gives you months of deep purple color, aromatic silver foliage, and pollinator activity with far less water and maintenance than many flowering plants. This hybrid French lavender variety is especially valued for its extended bloom season, drought tolerance once established, and ability to stay beautiful in borders, containers, rock gardens, and Mediterranean-style landscapes.

In mild climates, Goodwin Creek Lavender blooms nearly year-round. In typical outdoor gardens, it produces deep violet-blue flower spikes from early summer to late fall, with deep purple flowers that keep the garden looking alive through spring, summer, and fall.

Why You'll Love It

  • Extended Blooming Season – Deep purple flowers and violet-blue blooms provide long-lasting color from spring through late summer, with nearly year-round flowering possible in mild climates.

  • Drought Tolerant – Once established, this plant thrives with minimal water, making it ideal for dry, water-wise landscapes and California gardens that often feature drought-tolerant California lilac (Ceanothus).

  • Pollinator Magnet – Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds love the flowers, helping create a vibrant garden ecosystem with real life and movement.

  • Hardy Performance – Goodwin Creek Lavender grows in zones 6-10, has extreme weather tolerance, and is recognized for silver-gray foliage that looks good year-round.

  • Versatile Use – Perfect for borders, rock gardens, containers, patios, Mediterranean gardens, commercial plantings, and artisanal goods; plants like English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and the dried flowers of Goodwin Creek Lavender are used in aromatherapy.

Goodwin Creek Lavender has a unique combination of beauty, fragrance, and resilience. It is suited for gardeners who want a favorite lavender variety that can stand up to heat, dry soil, and changing weather without constant care.

What Makes It Different

Most lavender varieties either bloom for a shorter window or struggle when challenged by heat, humidity, or inconsistent watering. Goodwin Creek Grey combines ornamental silver foliage, long bloom performance, and practical toughness in one clean, beautiful plant.

  • Hybrid Vigor – Goodwin Creek Lavender is a hybrid French lavender variety, often sold as Lavandula heterophylla ‘Goodwin Creek Grey’, with the ability to perform better than many pure English or Spanish lavenders.

  • Distinctive Silver Foliage – The plant has silvery-grey foliage with finely toothed edges, giving the garden texture and color even when flowers are not at their peak.

  • Heat and Humidity Tolerance – Goodwin Creek Lavender handles hot summers and difficult conditions better than many lavender varieties, much like purple bougainvillea for Mediterranean-style gardens, while still needing well-draining soil to avoid moisture problems and root rot.

This variety was discovered at Goodwin Creek, a place known for lavender expertise, demonstration gardens featuring perennial plants, and sustainable agriculture and plant propagation education. Goodwin Creek Gardens offers over 40 distinct varieties of lavender, and visitors can browse over 125 lavender varieties at Goodwin Creek, making this selection part of a larger culture of plant knowledge and real growing experience.

How To Grow Goodwin Creek Lavender Successfully

  1. Plant in Full Sun Location
    Choose a spot with full sun for 6 to 8 hours daily and fast-draining soil. Leave enough room and distance around the plant so the foliage can breathe, the roots stay dry, and the natural rounded shape can develop.

  2. Establish with Regular Watering
    Water regularly during the first growing season, then reduce watering once the plant is established. As with Lavender Mexican heather and other nursery perennials, good drainage is essential because the plant is sensitive to moisture and can suffer root rot in soggy soil.

  3. Enjoy Continuous Blooms
    Watch deep purple flowers and deep violet-blue flower spikes appear from early summer to late fall, with additional blooms possible in mild climates, bright indoor settings, or a sunny window with cool night temperatures.

For best results, lightly prune after flowering to keep the plant compact and encourage more blooms. Goodwin Creek Lavender can survive temperatures down to -20°F, but cold, wet soil can still damage roots, so winter drainage and protection matter.

a swim through literary magic
Format: Kindle
Reading this book reminds me of jumping into a pool of water and the way the water tickles your skin as you descend into it, then surrounds you and totally encompasses you in its liquid wonder. There is so much here: beautiful metaphors that conjure up both visual images and the emotions that accompany it. Wonderful character development: presented with gentleness, respect and grace. An intricate plot that carries the reader along lightly and buoyantly, not calling attention to itself, but carrying through to the end. The book itself is a portrait of Theo, in keeping with the portrait style described within.

Beautiful and Thought Provoking
Format: Kindle
This book: ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I absolutely loved this book! I tried reading it about 2 months ago and couldn’t get into it after reading a few pages. Then my neighborhood book club picked it so I decided to try listening to it on audible. I was hooked immediately as the narrator had such a warm, calming voice that perfectly captured the heartwarming and sincere nature of the story. I was so invested in this book that I listened to it every moment I could whether it was while I was doing chores around the house or driving. Then when I couldn’t listen to it so as to not disturb others I had my face in my kindle just wanting more and more. THIS BOOK should be read by everyone as we all need a bit of Theo in our lives. Theo is a wound with a voice, a messenger from heaven, the epitome of kindness, and the friend that you didn’t know you needed. 😢❤️

The end is only the beginning
Format: Kindle
Theo appears in a small fictional Georgia town named Golden. He’s a distinguished old man with a mysterious past. He’s a quiet observer; then he makes friends in a coffee house and there pursues a plan to personally gift every portrait drawing on the wall to the townsfolk simply pictured there. As an artist, I appreciated the detailed descriptions of each face, and then the invited dialogue with each person behind those drawings. The characters Theo gets to know are varied and storied. Of even more value to me was Theo’s visit to the studio of the originator of all the portraits. Layers start getting unpeeled in this tale. I started to highlight phrases when the motivation for doing the work got uncovered between them. There were times when I felt the main character was “too good” to be believable. I personally appreciated the subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) references to Theo being a Christ figure. But remember that Jesus was the one who said “woe to you when all men speak well of you”. The Theo who is pictured in this book, and the reactions of most around him is maybe a little too syrupy? A friend who is in my book club felt herself being “manipulated” when reading this book. I ponder that. There was a plethora of reactions to Jesus too, but I don’t think any honest quester ever felt manipulated. He let them walk freely away. For me the significance of each face was the key theme, and each face held sorrow. There are some beautiful lines in the book around this. The ambitions: true and false in the “art world” also the business world resonated also. The Pastor’s words during a funeral at the end were valuable. And the little girl’s imagination (prompted by Theo) of all the musical notes flying on their wings into the chandeliers so that they can sing again later was a wonderful metaphor. There are some excellent passages in this book if you remain in it. As one grandmother said in this tale: “Baby, they’s justice and they’s mercy. If you not sure what to do and you gotta choose one or the other, I say always go the mercy way. If you make a mistake, make it for mercy. Bad mercy don’t hurt nearly like bad justice and always remember, the eye of God can see.”

Theo of Golden by Allen Levi is one of those rare books that quietly settles into your heart and lingers long after the final page. The writing is intelligent, thoughtful, and beautifully crafted, with storytelling that feels both timeless and deeply human. The characters are wonderfully developed and feel incredibly real, but Theo himself is unforgettable. I found myself learning so much from him along the way about life, people, kindness, and perspective. Allen Levi has a gift for creating a world that feels warm, meaningful, and genuine. This was a truly lovely read, full of wisdom, heart, and beautiful prose. An easy five stars for me. 📚✨

Savor Theo -A Heart & Soul Dish
*No spoilers in this review I found this book to be an unexpected banquet for my soul. I don’t read fiction very often, but as I read Theo of Golden, I realized I am hungry for what this story offers. Based on its swift and growing popularity, I believe the world is hungry for the gift of Theo of Golden. When speaking on his book, Mr. Levi shared a quote from David Brooks, “ To write a book about kindness does not make you kind. To read a book about kindness does not make you kind… but to buy a book about kindness, that makes you kind.” 😄 This humor & humility — a “don’t take yourself too seriously” a welcoming accessibility is in the author and this book. I love this spirit in the story —so much so, if I could hug this book any tighter— it would be behind me. (borrowing generously from Groucho Marx ) I started to do research on Allen Levi - who wrote this gift. He chose well, hundreds of little choices, keeping him close to beauty, kindness, meaningful relationships and community. His choices of early morning devotionals and prayer and regular visits to schools and coffee houses, to write songs instead of watch tv, all feeding the character of the author. I believe you cannot share beyond where you have traveled. He has traveled to deep places. A definite Ode to Joy prior to offering Theo was to write about the last 365 days of his brother’s life they shared after a cancer diagnosis entered. His brother’s early exit from here and entrance into heaven, I believe, prepared the way for one of the greatest fiction writings of our day. Allen Levi’s habits to avoid technology and be fully present with the people in his life bleeds beautifully onto the characters of Golden. The environment is one which doesn’t talk about technology or politics. Just people connections. He firsts introduces us, then beautifully befriends us to a better way and a place, accessible to us if we would choose to allow mindful relationships to develop. All this making the community of Golden a place to cherish. Ultimately I believe the gift is to see Golden could be grown in a hometown, a neighborhood, with all people… It’s a heart posture- a posture that Theo bestows on the town. In my ideal world, the author would meet another great songwriter, poet, storyteller: Ray Hughes. Ray is another gift to humanity, in creativity, intelligence, and accessing heaven on earth through words. I believe there would be a powerful explosion of hope, humor and generosity in their meeting, subsequent friendship & collaboration. I’m dreaming here, and lifting a prayer to the heavens- it would be awesome!! With a grateful heart, I highly recommend Theo of Golden. Humbly submitted, Dawn Holley Author, 22 Keys To Joy for the easily distracted
