Every garden should include an iconic lavender whether creating a cottage garden or planting as a point of interest in a minimalist vision. Flowers are borne over summer into autumn above aromatic, silvery-grey-green foliage. The ‘Quintessential’ collection are all scented and come in a range of blues, purples and white. Plant where the fragrance can be truly appreciated. Perfect for making a low hedge, placing by a path or at the front of the border. The nectar and pollen rich flowers are a magnet for bees, butterflies, and pollinating insects and birds benefit from the seeds left in the autumn too.
Heat and drought tolerant in accordance with its original Mediterranean climate, preferring to be grown in moderately fertile, well-drained soil in full sun and tolerate partial shade. Hardy perennial with an RHS rating of H5, so will withstand our usual UK winters.
