Lavender
Botanical Name: Lavandula angustifolia
Type: Hardy Perennial

Lavender is a beloved classic for gardeners, offering soothing fragrance, elegant purple flower spikes, and silvery-green foliage. This hardy perennial forms compact, bushy plants that thrive in sunny, well-drained spots, making it ideal for borders, herb gardens, containers, and pollinator patches. A magnet for bees and butterflies, lavender is also prized for its culinary, medicinal, and crafting uses — from herbal teas to fragrant sachets and homemade bath products.
