The unique perfume of Blue English Lavender is instantly recognizable, and this soothing aroma comes from a bush that is also stunningly beautiful. A rounded mound of gray-green evergreen foliage, tall spikes of blue-purple flowers rise above it in summer, just like those pictures from Provence. An indispensable part of any Mediterranean-style garden, it works wonders in any garden at all, it’s so full of charm. It loves those hot and dry spots, and you can cut the blossom spikes to dry, so you can bring that wonderful smell right into your home.
Give it hot and sunny spot in your garden, and Blue English Lavender will love you. It is hardy in zone 5 and everywhere hotter, so it grows all across the country. Any soil will do, as long as it isn’t wet all the time, and it thrives in poor, sandy and rocky ground. Pests or diseases are rare, and deer won’t eat it either. A light trim after flowering, to tidy it and round it out, is all the care you need – just once a year.
