Q.Plant mutation
My lavender has sprouted this early bloom, entirely white, looks healthy, the picture was taken on 5th of May, the bloom has no scent. Is it a sport?
Typical blooms are a medium purple with he typical scent – I think this is the common variety of lavender which usually blooms much later in the summer. The plant is about 15 years old, grown in a back garden in a pot, and has never done this before!
And no … These aren’t insect eggs, although at first I thought they were!
Thanks for any thoughts.
We did not receive the image.
You are likely growing a hybrid variety of Lavender.
Your plant may have reverted back to a cross cultivator.
