Lavender is a quintessential garden plant known for its fragrant flowers and silvery-green foliage. In summer, it produces long spikes of purple, blue, or white flowers that attract bees and butterflies, creating a lively, buzzing atmosphere. Lavender’s neat, mounding habit and drought tolerance make it a popular choice for borders, low hedges, rock gardens, or container plantings. Its aromatic leaves and flowers are also prized for crafting sachets, oils, and natural remedies.
With its Mediterranean origins, lavender thrives in sunny, well-drained locations. It’s a low-maintenance shrub that rewards gardeners with seasonal beauty, fragrance, and ecological benefits, ensuring it remains a staple in traditional and modern gardens alike.
