Lavender
A single plant yields up to 700 g of flowers per season
English Lavender is one of the most beloved aromatic perennials among gardeners, thanks to its undemanding nature and compelling beauty. The plant originates from the Mediterranean, where it grew on rocky slopes and dry hillsides, but over time it has won the hearts of gardeners worldwide. The cultivation of lavender boasts over 2500 years of history, and it appeared in European gardens thanks to monks who valued its extraordinary fragrance and healing properties.
This graceful plant may seem modest, but when it blooms, it transforms the garden into a violet carpet. From June to August, the bush is covered with dense spikes of tiny flowers—from delicate lilac to deep violet tones. The variety of cultivars is astonishing: there are snowy white 'Alba', rosy 'Rosea', dark 'Hidcote' and compact 'Munstead'. The narrow, silvery foliage retains its ornamental appeal even after flowering, adding structure and volume to the garden.
Lavender is virtually a universal plant for any garden. It looks splendid in rock gardens, mixed borders and alpine slides, fits beautifully into Mediterranean-style compositions. Flowers can be cut for bouquets or dried for room fragrance, and used in cooking and cosmetics. Honey-rich flowers attract bees and butterflies, making lavender valuable for the garden's ecosystem.
Wish to create a corner of peace, fragrance and natural beauty in your garden? English Lavender is exactly what you need. A single mature plant generously yields about 700 grams of fragrant flowers per season, and caring for it is nothing but a pleasure.
