The Goodwin Creek lavender, known as Lavandula ‘Goodwin Creek’ is a popular lavender variety known for its striking silvery-grey foliage, deep purple-blue flowers with long bloom time, and rich fragrance. Its versatility, beauty, and ability to attract pollinators have earned it a place in many Mediterranean-style gardens. Besides Opuntia, this Goodwin Creek is one of the few cold hardy plants that withstand winter temperatures as low as -20 °F. 

Native to the Mediterranean region, the Lavandula ‘Goodwin Creek’ is often referred to by several common names, including French Lavender, or Lavender ‘Goodwin Creek Grey’. These names reflect its appearance, heritage, and its affinity with the broader family of French lavenders. 

The Goodwin Creek Lavender is a relatively compact lavender variety, that can grow up to 3 feet tall and 2 feet wide

Its moderate size makes it ideal for borders, garden beds, or containers, offering a neat and well-rounded form that can be pruned to maintain its shape.

The most notable feature of Goodwin Creek Lavender is its soft, woolly, grey-green leaves, which are finely toothed and give the plant a distinct, textured appearance.

The shrub’s foliage emits a calming lavender scent, even when brushed against lightly. The flowers of Goodwin Creek Lavender are a deep purple-blue, blooming from late spring through fall.

The long-lasting blooms are perfect for cut flower arrangements, dried flowers, or simply enjoying in the garden. The flowering spikes are long and graceful, emerging on tall stems that rise above the silvery foliage.

Goodwin Creek lavender is also known for its soothing aroma and potential calming effects, making it a popular choice for aromatherapy and relaxation purposes. Its gentle nature makes it suitable for direct skin contact, such as in homemade bath products or as a natural air freshener.  

When and How to Water Your Goodwin Creek Lavender 

When it comes to watering, it's important to strike a balance, as lavender plants, including Goodwin Creek lavender, are drought-tolerant once established. Once the lavender is established, usually after the first year, you can reduce the frequency of watering. During this stage, Goodwin Creek lavender prefers drier conditions. Depending on the climate and weather, watering every two to three weeks should suffice. 

From spring through early fall, during the growing season, regular watering is crucial, especially in the first year after planting, to help the roots develop properly. It's recommended to water deeply once a week, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. This promotes healthy root growth and prevents overwatering. 

In the late fall and winter, during the dormant season, when the plant's growth slows, significantly reduces watering. Only water if the soil becomes very dry, as lavender can suffer from root rot if the soil remains too wet during this period. 

Light Requirements – Where to Place Your Goodwin Creek Lavender 

When grown indoors, your Lavandula Goodwin Creek thrives best in a bright, sunny location. A south-facing window is ideal, as it provides the maximum amount of sunlight throughout the day. For optimal growth, the plant should receive at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily.  

For outdoor cultivation, Goodwin Creek lavender also requires full sun to thrive. Planting it in a location that receives at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day is crucial.

This exposure helps the plant to develop its aromatic oils and vibrant blooms, which are characteristic of this lavender variety. Additionally, planting in a well-drained area is important, as lavender prefers dry conditions, and excess moisture can lead to root rot.

It's worth noting that while Goodwin Creek lavender can tolerate some light shade, prolonged periods in low-light conditions can hinder its growth and flowering.

Therefore, choosing the right spot in your garden is vital. If you're in a hotter climate, some afternoon shade can be beneficial to prevent the plant from becoming stressed due to excessive heat. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Goodwin Creek lavender thrives best in well-drained soil that mimics its natural habitat. The optimal soil type for this lavender variety is sandy or gravelly soil which allows for excellent drainage. A pH level between 6.0 and 7.0 is ideal, as lavender prefers slightly alkaline conditions.

If your garden soil is heavy or clay-like, it's advisable to amend it with sand or perlite to improve drainage. This will help prevent root rot, which can occur if the roots sit in waterlogged conditions. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally use our specialized potting mixGo to planetdesert.com/collections/soil-top-dressing-and-amendments/products/soil-cactus-mix-blend-1-gal-4-qt-cacti-succulent-dirt-compost-growing-media that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your Lavender plant to thrive. 

When it comes to fertilization, Goodwin Creek lavender has relatively low nutrient requirements compared to many other plants. Over-fertilizing can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers, which is not desirable for lavender. A light application of a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring can promote healthy growth, but it’s essential to follow the manufacturer's instructions to avoid applying too much. Alternatively, using organic fertilizers, such as compost or well-rotted manure, can provide the necessary nutrients without the risk of over-fertilization.

If you prefer a more tailored approach, you can also use a fertilizer that is specifically formulated for flowering plants, as this can encourage blooming. However, it's best to apply fertilizers sparingly, as lavender is adapted to thrive in less nutrient-rich environments. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

When grown indoors, the Lavandula Goodwin Creek thrives in temperatures ranging from 60 to 75 °F. It's important to maintain a consistent temperature, as lavender does not tolerate extreme fluctuations. Additionally, indoor humidity levels should be kept relatively low, ideally between 30% to 50%. High humidity can lead to fungal issues, so ensuring good air circulation around the plant is essential. Placing the lavender near a sunny window or using grow lights can help maintain the right temperature and light conditions for healthy growth. 

For outdoor cultivation, Goodwin Creek lavender is hardy in USDA hardiness zones 6 to 9. This means it can withstand winter temperatures as low as -20 °F. This range makes it suitable for various climates, but it's crucial to ensure that the plant is not exposed to excessive moisture during the winter months, as this can lead to root rot. 

The ideal temperature during the growing season is between 70 to 85 °FWhile lavender can tolerate some heat, excessively high temperatures above 90 °F can stress the plant, especially if combined with high humidity. Therefore, in hotter climates, providing some afternoon shade can be beneficial.

TireJECT cannot work miracles
Size: Compact Car, Mid-size Sedan, Size: Compact Car, Mid-size Sedan
TireJECT is a surprisingly thin fluid that supposedly contains fibers that must help stop up holes. Frankly I'm still confused as to how this stuff can plug a leak, but apparently it does. Tons of reviews say so. I say apparently because the product did not completely stop a slow leak in my tire, but that's OK. I knew it likely wouldn't. I'll have to replace the tire unfortunately. I had a garage install four nearly-new tires on my car. After installing, a heavy leak was discovered in one of them. They took the tire off again and found a small tear near the rim/bead of the sidewall. Since the tear would be flat against the rim, they suggested to let them try and repair it with tire patch adhesive and lots of bead sealer. They were confident, so I went for it. It seemed to work, but it went flat a few days later. TireJECT seemed like the perfect solution to the slow leak since I wouldn't have to disturb the repair. I bought the kind without the syringe and regretted it immediately upon trying to use it. First, the valve stem removal tool broke as it loosened it. I had to buy a new tool down the road. When I went to inject, I squeezed as hard as I could but it just wouldn't flow past the TPM. It also kept leaking out of the flex joint of the nozzle. I had a huge syringe on hand, so I sucked up the rest from the bag, ziptied the hose on both ends and got the rest of the product into the tire. HURRAY! The tire pressure had fallen considerably by the next morning. BOOOoo. I contacted TireJECT, and after several emails (and long waits in between). They determined their product was not suitable for my use case. They refunded what I paid without me even asking. I really appreciated that. That said, before injecting, the tire would go flat overnight. So, TireJECT does work to a good degree. I'm half tempted to overdose the tire with another package. Give TireJECT a try! Though, be sure your situation matches their criteria. If you have a TPM, opt for the package that comes with a syringe. You will need it. Also, throw the cast pot metal, tire stem tool out and get a decent machined one before you do the repair. Thank me later.

Works once again!
Size: Compact Car, Mid-size Sedan
Third time using TireJect on a vehicle, and it's worked perfectly each time. First was the off-road formula for leaking motorcycle tire beads.... then this formula my light SUV with a slow leak until I could get the tire replaced. This was for a stubborn tire that had a leak SOMEWHERE, and usually would lose 10-15 psi overnight after a fill-up. Two days later, still fully inflated and no signs of trouble. This is great because this formulation is also okay for tire pressure sensors. Will continue to purchase this product for similar issues going forward. High quality, durability, and easy to use.

Works like a champ!
Size: Full-size Truck, SUV
It works great! I had one fairly slow leak and 2 very slow leaks. 3 Tires. 2 were on my 94 Ford Ranger. I put a little more than 1/2 the packet in my fastest leaking tire (on the Ranger) and about 1/4 of the packet in the 2nd tire of the same vehicle. Lastly, I put the final 1/4 in a very slow leaking tire on my 2000 Ford F-150. All tires have stopped leaking!! I am delighted with the effectiveness of this product!!

Seems to have done a great job.
Size: Full-size Truck, SUV (2-pack)
One of our cars has suffered from rim leaks and was driving me nuts. Constantly being asked by my wife to top off the tires on her car. When I replaced a damaged rim I asked the tire shop to look for the source of the leaks. They said the "alloy" rims had started to corrode and did their best to get them to seal but warned me they would likely leak again. This spring when I removed her snow tires I found 3 of her 4 tires had gone completely flat in storage. The fourth was the new rim which was fine. I considered buying new rims that won't have this problem but wanted to wait until her times need to be replaced. The batteries in the TPMS sensors are getting very low so likely these will need to be replaced as well. I thought to try some sort of sealant. Most of the products I saw were not rated for automotive systems and offered warnings about risk to the TMPS sensors. This seemed to be the only product rated for my application and claimed it would not harm our car's sensors. So I gave it a shot. I ordered the SUV package that came with an injector and two 8-oz bottles. I put 4 oz in each tire per the instructions. Overall the process was easy except the valve core extractor broken on one of the tires. I had to pick up a replacement at a local auto parts store. Also, injecting the sealant creates a small amount of pressure in the tire that, if one doesn't release by drawing out the plunger, will burp a small amount of sealant onto the rims. Fairly easy to clean up with WARM water and easier to avoid after the first experience. Drove the car around at a variety of speeds for 10-15 minutes (had errands to run) and waited to see what happened. Great results. Weeks later and the tires still have the correct pressure. I am not sure how long this will last but hopefully for the remaining life of the tires at least. I took one star off for easy of use / easy to install because the valve core extractor is made of extremely cheap aluminum and I am sure others will have a poor experience with it. Be forewarned and consider buying one before you start jacking up your car and letting the air out of the tires only to find you break the tool on a sticky valve core and are unable to complete the job without a trip to the auto parts store. I'll update this review in about a year to report on the long-term outlook for this product.

It Works!
Size: Full-size Truck, SUV
When I bought my vehicle it didn't come with a spare. I knew what I was in for. I was on my way to an important meeting and as fate would have, the tire pressure indicator reported a flat. I imagined the worst but experienced the best! The directions said to let all the air out of tire and remove the valve stem core, it seemed like I was making a bad situation worse. Then it said to attach the tube to the stem and squeeze the contents into the tire. I thought "this is never going to work" the fluid seemed too watery to seal anything, but I followed instructions, I reinstalled the valve core and reinflated the tire, and it worked! I expected it to leak immediately, it didn't. It lasted all day and most of the next day until I could get the tire to the shop. They removed a nail and patched the hole, overall I'm very satisfied, I bought a replacement right away, just in case!
