Lavender

Lavender earns a permanent place in the garden with fragrant foliage, pollinator-rich flowers, and stems useful for bouquets, sachets, culinary projects, and traditional preparations. Choose varieties suited to your climate, space, and intended use.

Give lavender full sun, sharp drainage, and room for air to move around the plants. Avoid rich, wet soil; established plants perform best with lean conditions and careful watering.
