Lavandula angustifolia, commonly called English Lavender, is a sun loving perennial herb plant with mid to late spring bloom time. It is known as a xerophyte which by definition is a plant that has adapted to living in dry climate conditions. Poor soils are not a problem and are in fact preferred over rich moist ones. This makes Lavender perfect for sun drenched planting locations such as a hot dry bank that can be a real landscape problem area and can still withstand cold conditions during fall and winter. Evergreen. Hardy.
Excellent for crafts and dried flowers as they retain their color.
