Growing your business from the ground up since 1890

Dear Customer, Looking back at 2019, we had high hopes for the continuation of success in 2020. The bookings started strong in July and a positive momentum carried us through Christmas into January. My last event was the MANTS show in Baltimore in early January, and there was a sense from the show that our industry was in good shape. Then things began to change, and the world began facing a new challenge in COVID-19. Michell’s had to adapt, as many companies did, to a new remote model of operating. On March 13th, following a managers' meeting, we set a plan in motion and by the following week, guided by our IT team, we began to work from home.

HENRY F. MICHELL President + CEO

I am very proud of our team and how they handled the new business challenges they faced on top of the concern for COVID-19. Our customer service group did a great job not missing a beat and our product teams worked in partnership with our vendors to meet the critical needs of our customers. As time went on, we began to hear that consumer demand was strengthening. First in the South with record retail sales, then moving northward as spring reached its peak. By April, we saw orders picking up, making May and June very strong months. We have often heard how important our product is to our human existence. Now we have seen it! I have often said, “There is no Super Bowl commercial you will ever see that has more of an impact on the human psyche than SPRING!”. We have a fabulous advertising campaign every year that was seen and maybe even appreciated more than ever this past season. AMEN! We see a stronger demand for our products continuing well into the future. I even think we got the attention from that ever popular and important group of Millennials we talk so fondly about. We have many new products in this catalog that will excite our audiences for years to come. From our Sales Staff, Customer Service and Management Teams, we want to thank you for your business and your loyalty. Have a healthy and successful 2021! Sincerely,

Rick Michell

LAVANDULA multifida TORCH MINTY ICE

Lavandula Torch Minty Ice

Celosia Arrabona Red

This Lavender is different in a number of ways from typical Lavenders, in that it is a very quick crop from seed – it will finish in a gallon, or 6” pot in only 15-16 weeks from sowing, and needs no vernalization to flower. It has finely divided, bipinnate leaves of gray-green color, which have the scent of Oregano – not Lavender! Torch Minty Ice has flowers of the palest blue, a good complement to it’s sister variety Torch Blue. These Lavandula multifidas are perennial, but not quite as hardy as other Lavenders, reliable from USDA Zone 7–11. They will take warmer summers than most other Lavandula species. Ideal for perennial gardens, but also for container use for a taller accent plant that provides texture and scent to mixed containers. Torch Lavenders grow to a height of 30-34” with a mature plant width of 20-24”.
