An easy-to-germinate lavender variety with beautifully scented foliage and loads of fragrant blue flowers. Plants form a uniform, spreading habit and are ideal for landscape accents, borders, and containers, offering both ornamental beauty and wonderful fragrance throughout the season.
Size: Mature height is approximately 12 in. with a spread of 12 in., making it suitable for various garden settings.
Yield: Abundant blooms throughout the growing season provide an impressive display and can be harvested for a fragrant addition to your home.
Taste: While lavender is known for its aromatic qualities, it has a sweet, floral profile that lends itself well to culinary uses.
How to use: Lavender can be dried and used for bath soaks, fragrance, and culinary treats. Harvest stems for drying when just a few flowers are open, cutting in the morning after dew has dried. Bundle stems and hang upside down in a dark, dust-free space with good air circulation. Once dry, flowers can be removed and used in baths, homemade bath salts, or sachets to naturally scent linens. In the kitchen, lavender can be used to make infused sugar, lemonade, ice cubes, and more.
Planting tips: Plant in full sun with well-drained soil that is not too wet. Aim to provide at least 5 hours of direct sunlight each day. Lavender thrives best in light, sandy soil and does not tolerate wet or heavy conditions.
Harvest tips: When harvesting, cut stems just above a leaf node to encourage bushy regrowth, and be sure to harvest in the morning when essential oils are most concentrated.
Pelleted seed.

Love this plant. We have it on the steps going to our beach. I killed the heather because I did not water it enough. The lavender seems to survive the water drought.
Easy to start from seed, but exceedingly slow growing. Might be okay as an outside perennial.
