The Lavandua Superblue or Lavandula angustifolia Superblue, is a cold-hardy, drought-tolerant, and richly hued variety of lavender known for its deep blue-purple flowers and ease of cultivation.  

This English lavender cultivar is loved for its intense, vivid blooms, which make it a striking addition to both gardens and containers. ‘Superblue’ is highly prized for its aromatic foliage, drought tolerance, and ability to thrive in various growing conditions. As a versatile plant, it attracts pollinators and is perfect for borders, herb gardens, and rock gardens, bringing beauty and utility with its fragrant presence. 

Lavandula ‘Superblue’ is named for its exceptionally rich blue-purple flowers, which are more intense than most other lavender varieties. The Superblue lavender is native to the Mediterranean region, particularly in the rocky, sun-drenched hillsides of southern Europe. Today lavender is growing worldwide, with ‘Superblue’ flourishing in USDA hardiness zones 5-9.

One of the standout features of Lavandula ‘Superblue’ is its compact, bushy growth habit, which typically grows up to 1 foot tall and spreads about 1 foot wide. Its leaves are grayish-green, narrow, and finely textured, adding a silvery accent to its deep purple blooms.

The plant’s dense foliage creates a lush mound, making it an ideal choice for edging pathways or filling smaller garden spaces. Superblue lavender retains its neat, tidy shape with minimal pruning, adding a controlled yet vibrant touch to any landscape. 

The flowers of Lavandula ‘Superblue’ blooms in early to mid-summer and produce tall spikes of fragrant, blue-violet flowers that are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. The blooms rise gracefully above the foliage, creating a visually striking contrast with the silvery-green leaves. The flowers emit a classic lavender scent, and their rich color persists throughout the bloom cycle, adding a long-lasting splash of color to garden beds and containers. 

Its flowers can be harvested and dried for use in potpourris, or sachets, bringing their calming fragrance indoors. In gardens, the plant’s fragrance can help deter pests, and its flowers attract beneficial pollinators.  

Lavender is also popular essential oil that is used in herbal medicine and aromatherapy for its soothing, stress-relieving properties. Furthermore, it’s an ideal companion plant, blending well with other drought-tolerant species like sage, rosemary, and thyme. 

When and How to Water Superblue Lavander 

The Lavandula Superblue is a drought-tolerant plant that requires minimal watering once established. This means watering the plant thoroughly when the soil is dry to a depth of about 1-2 inches. It's essential to allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot and other issues caused by overwatering.

In the spring and summer, during the growing season, you can water the Lavandula Superblue plant approximately once every 7-10 days, depending on the weather conditions and soil drainage. It's important to adjust the watering frequency based on factors like temperature, humidity, and rainfall. During hot and dry periods, you may need to water the plant more frequently, while in cooler or rainy weather, you can reduce the watering frequency. 

In the fall and winter months, you should reduce watering to allow the plant to enter a period of dormancy. Water the plant sparingly, only when the soil is dry to the touch, about every 2-3 weeks. This reduced watering schedule helps mimic the plant's natural growth cycle and prevents waterlogging during the plant's dormant phase.

By understanding the seasonal watering needs of the Lavander Superblue plant and adjusting your watering routine accordingly, you can help promote healthy growth and ensure the plant thrives in its environment. Remember to always monitor the soil moisture levels and adapt your watering schedule based on the plant's specific requirements to maintain its overall health and vigor. 

Light Requirements – Where to Place Your Superblue Lavender 

When grown indoors it’s essential to place your superblue lavender in a location where it can receive ample bright, indirect sunlight. A south-facing window is ideal for providing the plant with the necessary sunlight it needs for healthy growth.

If a south-facing window is not available, you can supplement the light with a grow light to ensure the lavender receives adequate light exposure.

For outdoor cultivation, Lavandula Superblue plants thrive in full sunlight. These plants require at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily to flourish.

Choose a spot in your garden or landscape that receives plenty of sunlight throughout the day. In regions with hot summers, providing some afternoon shade can help protect the plant from intense heat and sunburn.

Indoor Lavandula SuperBlue plants may benefit from spending time outdoors during the warmer months. If you choose to move your lavender plant outdoors, gradually acclimate it to direct sunlight to prevent sunburn. Start by placing the plant in a partially shaded area and gradually increase the exposure to full sunlight over a few days.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs

The Superblue Lavender plants prefer well-draining soil with a slightly alkaline pH level 5.9 to 6.2. A sandy or loamy soil mix with good drainage is ideal for Lavandula Superblue. You can improve soil drainage by adding perlite or coarse sand to the soil mix to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Planet Desert has specialized potting soil, opens in a new tab that includes an organic substrate with mycorrhizae to help with the growth of a healthy root system to help your plants to thrive. 

When it comes to fertilizing Lavandula Superblue, it's important not to over-fertilize as these plants are sensitive to excess nutrients. Fertilize the plant sparingly to avoid causing damage. A balanced, NPK fertilizer formulated for flowering plants can be applied in the spring as new growth begins. Alternatively, you can use a diluted liquid fertilizer once a year during the growing season to provide your superblue lavender with essential nutrients. 

By selecting the right soil mix, ensuring proper drainage, and providing appropriate fertilization, you can help your Lavandula Superblue plant thrive and produce healthy growth and vibrant blooms. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

When growing indoors, Lavandula Superblue plants thrive bright, indirect sunlight with temperatures between 60-70°F during the day and slightly cooler temperatures at night. They prefer moderate humidity levels, around 40-50%.  

For outdoor cultivation, Superblue lavender plants are typically suited for USDA zones 5-9. They require full sunlight exposure, receiving at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and blooming.

They prefer temperatures ranging from 70-90°F during the day and slightly cooler temperatures at night. Lavender plants thrive in low to moderate humidity levels, around 30-40%.

According to ASPCA, the SuperBlue lavender plants are considered mildly toxic to pets These compounds aren’t harmful to humans when used in culinary amounts, but consuming excessive amounts could lead to mild digestive discomfort. In recipes, lavender is safe in small amounts and is used for its pleasant floral taste.

How to Propagate Superblue Lavender 

The Superblue lavender can be propagated through stem cuttings. To do this, select a healthy stem and cut it just below a leaf node. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone before planting it in well-draining soil. Keep the cutting moist and in a warm, sunny location to encourage root growth. After a few weeks, roots should begin to form and the cutting can be transplanted into their own pot or garden bed. Remember to water regularly and provide adequate sunlight for optimal growth.

A Healer's Book
Format: Paperback
In my opinion, this book is most suited to the "healers". I am only part-way through it right now, but thoroughly agree with what I have read so far because I have either experienced it or it makes logical sense from where I am on my personal journey. The book is slow reading, not difficult, but slow if you really want to understand what Barbara has written as she combines science with metaphysical beliefs. I cannot compare this book to her first book because, although I purchased her first book years ago, I honestly have not read it yet. "Light Emerging" was recommended by my master teacher. Barbara has spent significant time studying the auric fields of people vs. behavior. I plan to return to this review at a later time and update it with additional information, but I see it as a valuable resource for a healer (for both healing self and healing others). By the way, if you don't know it already, healing is not limited to the physical body. There is emotional healing and spiritual healing as well. ALL are important. The healthiest people are those who are balanced on all levels. This 342-page book explains a lot about energy, both scientifically and metaphysically. If you have already done significant reading, this book expands on a lot of it, such as explaining the chakras and the movement of energy throughout the system. As Barbara goes through each chakra, she explains how you likely behave if that chakra is fully functioning or if it is blocked. Quite a few illustrations within the book visually show you the energy movements within people who exhibit certain types of behavior, and the movements of energy within groups of 2 people exchanging energies at certain levels. This is one way in which this book is different from many other chakra and energy vibrational books. An example is an illustration of a couple in dispute and how they energetically resolved the dispute. Barbara has the developed ability to see the auric fields, as some do, and she supplements her writing with experiences she has had with clients. In this instance, she explains the energy movement in 3 stages of the therapy between the couple, as well as illustrates it in picture form, so you can follow what is happening energetically between the couple throughout the process. Here is a little tid-bit for you from the book: Barbara mentions that Dr. Robert Beck, a nuclear physicist, found that all healers exhibit the brain-wave patterns of 7.8 - 8 Hz while they are giving healings, the same fluctuation of the earth's magnetic energy field (the Schumann waves). The assumption is that the healers are synching up with the earth's magnetic field when doing healing. Dr. John Zimmerman, founder and president of Bio-Electro-Magnetics Institute, found through additional research, that once healers have linked with the Schumann waves, the right and left hemispheres of their brain have become balanced with each other and show a 7.8 - 8 Hz alpha rhythm. After they link with the patient for some time through laying on of hands, they are able to link the client in with the same earth's energy magnetic pulsations. Good book. If you are into metaphysical energy and healing, I think you will enjoy it and find it very informative. If you are NOT into metaphysical energy and healing, you will likely not understand it and may get nothing from it, especially if you are not open to this area of study.

Sequel to Hands of Light
Format: Paperback
Hands of Light has been widely recognized as the foundational text merging the Eastern approach to healing through cleansing and balancing a person's chakras and auras with the Western approach to healing through re-tuning a person's electromagnetic frequencies by applying the principles of quantum physics. Barbara's sequel, Light Emerging, further amplifies and extends these concepts. Specifically, she elaborates on the applications of the Holographic Model, the Creative Process and the mechanisms of Spiritual Guidance. She defines and diagrams the four dimensions of humanity at the Physical, Auric, Harac and Core Star levels. Through these four dimensions, average humans, once healed and balanced, can mature to be channels of energy, connecting heaven to earth vertically, and connecting all of humanity horizontally. The whole of Barbara's teaching can be incorporated into these four simple, clear and deeply profound diagrams. Since her previous book, Barbara set aside her private practice to establish a four-year university-level program to train and accredit healing practitioners to apply these disciplines. This book incorporates the further insights and experiences she gained through developing her School. Light Emerging is written specifically to instruct readers on how to self-heal and to give readers a preview on the commitment required to becoming a healing practitioner. This book is not intended to replace her School's four-year degree in healing. Appendix C offers links to current lists of her practicing graduates, by city and state. There is no duplication between her books. I personally benefited by reading and studying them side by side. I have also called a number of her graduates here in California and confirm they have both the meticulous training and proper motives to follow in Barbara Ann Brennon's footsteps. No fiction here. This book exemplifies the theory and practice of genuine physical, psychological and spiritual healing, either through self-study or through a practitioner.

A very erudite validation of alternative energy healing
Format: Paperback
I have not got very far in reading since I am reading in parallel Rosalyn Bruyere's "Wheels of Light", but so far find it more accessible than Ms Brennan's first book, "Hands of Light" and this is quite natural since I am not a scientist. But I can't help feeling that in many instances of alternative healing modalities, a personal experience of a natural gift of healing is being made to appear to the general public as a complex and costly necessity for effecting the healing that is a natural propensity of one's body if not hindered by pre-conditioning. Notwithstanding this, I like this book because is speaks to a personal experience of healing energy as subtle sensation/LIGHT which I see as merely awaiting universal acknowledgment that ALL is Light, appearances to the contrary to be shattered by such acknowledgment, and all advances in science that corroborate that fact is welcome.
