    L. Ballerina - Spanish Lavender with dark purple flower corollas with white bracts that turn to the palest ballerina pink
    L. Folgate - L. angustifolia purple flowers on long stems. Strong grower suited for hedging.
    L. Gorgeous - L. x chaytorae (Velvet Lavender) rich dark purple flowers. H=70cm. less hardy than L. angustifolia / L. x intermedia
    L. Heavenly Angel - L. x intermedia White July-August, Green-grey foliage. Shorter form. H=55cm W=80cm
    L. Hidcote - L. angustifolia Dark purple, with grey foliage. H=50cm
    L. Hidcote Giant - L. x intermedia Bushy purple flowers on stout stems (good cut flower) H=90cm
    L. Loddon Blue - L. angustifolia mid-purple-blue flowers, grey-green foliage. Short form, suitable for hedging H=45cm
    L. Nana Alba - L. angustifolia white-flowers, green-grey foliage. H=40cm

    Yeah ... that's the one I'm phasing out :) Probably loads of seedlings along its row, if not I can do some cuttings. How many do you need?

    OK, if it is 50-ish I may struggle to find self-sown for that number, so best you work out how many you need and I'll work to that (no sense you saying "50-ish" if you need 51, right? :)
