English Lavender

Lavandula angustifolia is a compact, evergreen subshrub forming rounded mounds of aromatic, narrow, silvery-gray foliage. Reaching up to three feet in height, it produces iconic spikes of intensely fragrant, purple-blue flowers in midsummer. This hardy perennial thrives in full sun and well-drained, neutral to alkaline soil, showing remarkable drought resistance once established. Widely used for essential oils, culinary herbs, and ornamental hedges, it is a magnet for bees and butterflies.
