Lavander is an absolute must-have for every sunny herb garden. These popular semi-shrubs thrive here as long as you provide them with full sun and well-drained, somewhat drier soil. They add not only delicate texture and color to their surroundings but, most importantly, an unmistakable fragrance that attracts pollinators from far and wide. They are also valuable for gardens during the cold months thanks to their winter appearance. They look great when planted together with lower drought-tolerant grasses or other perennials that have similar growing requirements. You can use them as low flowerbed borders or as fragrant details on rock gardens and dry stone walls. In addition to classic purple and blue shades, you will also find varieties with white or soft pink flowers here. Whether you reach for traditional English lavender or taller varieties grown for fragrant oils, you will get reliable plants that will bring you joy for many years.
