Highly scented, lavender-blue flowers. Both leaves and flowers can be dried to use in sachets, soaps, potpourri and perfumes. Use cut flowers in arrangements.
Lavender matures at the end of second year.
Seed indoors from late winter, or sow carefully outdoors late spring through summer in a location that will be undisturbed. Leave about 18 to 24 inches between established plants. Carefully transplant from flats or pots to the garden when seedlings are well established. Three to four weeks indoors. Keep soil moderately moist during germination.
