Tell Me More...
An iconic plant for any garden wishing to fulfil its cottage garden credentials. This 'gem' was awarded the Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit in 2001 and still holds it 20 years later. This accolade is given for reliable garden performance as well as for form and resilience. This English Lavender is compact and bushy, creating an even dome effect of grey, silvery green foliage, appearing above this foliage in July until September are tight sprays of rich, purple fragrant spires. Perfect for making a low hedge, placing by a path or at the front of the border. Plant where the fragrance can be truly appreciated. The nectar and pollen rich flowers are a magnet for bees, butterflies, and pollinating insects. Birds benefit from the seeds left in the autumn too. For optimum results grow in moderately fertile, well-drained soil in full sun and you will be rewarded with a height and spread of 50cm.
