Not only is this perennial indispensable for its strong fragrance but it is a lovely component for the garden. The neat mounds can be used as low hedges, edges for a border, interplanted amongst other perennials in a flower bed and it is very attractive in a container. Lavender has been a garden favorite for years and the flowers can be cut to dry for fragrancing a home. This is one of the most durable available and asks only for hot summer sun and a well drained site out of the wind. Thrives in baking hot situation where many other plants will not grow. |
