Unique variety that tolerates humidity
Fernleaf looks distinctively different than other garden lavenders. It has deeply lobed fern-like, silvery leaves that gives the foliage a handsome lacy appearance and long stems topped with graceful blue-violet trident-form flowers. Easily grown from seed, this first year flowering perennial has a bushy habit and blooms all summer long. Fernleaf foliage is highly aromatic with a hint of oregano and highly attractive to butterflies. Great for borders, beds, and containers.
Lamiaceae Lavandula multifida

Root Rot
Root Rot is caused by a variety of fungi and can attack many different plant species (including trees and shrubs). The first clue to a problem is that plants aren’t very vigorous. As this progresses plants show typical signs of root damage, leaves turn yellow and wilt easily and growth is slow. Small plants and seedlings succumb quickly, larger plants (even shrubs and trees) eventually die too. Check for root rot by looking at the roots. If they are rotten it is probably Root Rot (no surprise there). The fungi that cause Root Rot are found in all soils. Make sure the soil is well drained and has warmed up enough for your crop.
