basic information
Munstead Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is a fragrant, evergreen perennial with silvery-green foliage and vibrant purple flowers that bloom in summer. In gardens, it adds beauty to borders, rock gardens, or as a low hedge, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies while deterring deer and rabbits. Its aromatic leaves and flowers are used in potpourri, sachets, or as a culinary herb for flavoring desserts and teas. Medicinally, its essential oil is valued for promoting relaxation, easing stress, and soothing minor skin irritations or burns when diluted and applied topically.

How To Grow
