BEST TIME TO SEE LAVENDER IN BLOOM
The first signs of blue begin in late June, with the end of June bringing a few rows of Folgate to bloom. Come mid July the rest of the crop – mainly Grosso – is in flower. The peak time for lavender is midsummer.
Lavender is cut for distillation from the end of July continuing through August. We cut slowly so there are usually a few rows to see at any time.
