Summers blue
Morena: summers blue is bursting into flower in the lavender fields.
Pacific Blue startling deep violet shades are spreading across our fields. Every year this cloak of colour reminds us that Christmas is just around the corner.
Oringally from France, Pacific Blue, was later developed and named by Peter Smale from Crop and Food Research in Nelson. In one of his last pieces of work Peter cultivated and grew our original Pacific Blue which is now over eight years old. Pacific Blue is our favourite lavender, not only for it’s early season blooms but also for it’s refined and distinctive aroma.
Searching for a great way to use Pacific Blue flowers. and create a great Christmas lavender syrup recipie?
New Zealand’s favourite chef has created just the thing: “this stunning syrup brings the wonderful scent of lavender to the kitchen – and it tastes just as good as it smells! It’s stunning over fresh Berryfruit Salad, mixed through a little whipped cream to top off a dessert, or even in warm milk for a beautiful sleepy-time treat.
