You are buying Munstead (Dwarf) English Lavender plug plants.

These are large plug plants approximately 30mm x 40mm. These plants have been in winter dormancy, but will grow away very quickly once planted in new soil.

This is a hardy, evergreen shrub, with grey/green, aromatic foliage. Mid blue flower spikes are produced over the flowering period. An old fashioned favourite, this forms a bush with a height of about 45cms. It is ideal for borders or hedging but does need trimming to prevent it getting leggy.

Lavenders must have well drained soil as they are very drought tolerant and do not like to be kept too wet. They prefer full sun, although they will grow well in part or full shade. They prefer soil that is not over rich. Rich soil can diminish the aromatic scent. Their flowers are often dried and used for pot puree or dried flower arrangements amongst many other uses. They are great for attracting butterflies and bees and for use in the scented garden. Lavenders benefit greatly if cut back in early spring or after flowering, this helps to prevent dead wood from forming, making a neat and tidy bush.

We also have other varieties as well as mixed lavender packs available on our site.

Please note that the actual plant colours may vary slightly from the image shown.
