Lavandula / Lavender
Lavender is both a visual and olfactory delight. Its drought-tolerant, aromatic nature offers vibrant and fragrant spikes, making it a charming addition to your garden. These lavender spikes are a sensory symphony, attracting pollinators and soothing your soul.
The refreshing, clean fragrance of lavender has been known and appreciated for many years. The fresh leaves and flowers of lavender are used to make a soothing tea or to add a unique and subtle flavor to cakes and sweets; dried, it's added to potpourris, sachets, and perfumes. Lavender can grow up to 3 feet tall, with narrow, gray-green foliage topped with lavender, violet, or pink bloom spikes in summer. This popular and easy-to-grow herb is excellent for a border, container, or rock garden and makes a beautifully aromatic hedge. So add legendary fragrance to your patio container or hedge!
