Yes, several are available, including

‘Nana Alba’ English lavender

(.Lavandula angustifolia,

Zones 5-8)

and its hybrid ‘Edelweiss’ lavandin

(L. x

intermedia,

Zones 5-8). Pink

varieties of English lavender include

‘Jean Davis’ and ‘Loddon Pink’.

There’s even a yellow type of

Spanish lavender (L.

stoechis,

Zones

8-9), called ‘Lemon Leigh’.

A mix of white and pink varieties

with blue and purple types is a

lovely scene in a perennial border.
