I'm in zone 6 [more or less] and in bad winters it looks dead in

I'm in USDA zone 4 (Montreal) and last winter killed some of my lavenders
that flourished last summer. I removed the dead plants two weeks ago. The
variant was "Goodwin Creek" lavendula heterophylla, grown and sold in
Canada. I was surprised and disappointed that this wasn't hardy. Perhaps
it's hardy in Canadian greenhouses ;-)


I guess there are two lavenders, (English and French??) one is hardier
than the other. I've never bought it because I heard it was only
marginally hardy even in my area.. zone 6. But with the way the
climate seems to be changing we might be upgraded to zone 7!
