Lavender makes an excellent low hedge or edging plant. The nectar-rich blooms are particularly attractive to bees, & the fragrant stems are ideal for cutting or drying. This drought-tolerant plant thrives in sunny borders or containers. Consists of 2 varieties: Hidcote
- An evergreen, aromatic semi-shrub with narrow, silver-grey leaves & leafless stems topped with deep, violet-blue tubular flowers in summer. Munstead
- Dwarf compact variety with dense mounds of fragrant evergreen, grey-green foliage bearing deep-lavender flower spikes during summer. Supplied as plug tray plants.
