As enduring as the color and as fresh as the fragrance, lavender offers much to the full-sun Garden.
Lavender is native to the Mediterranean region.
Through thousands of years of human attention, lavender has been selected for a variety of characteristics that enhance its value in the Garden. Variations in plant size, leaves and flower color make lavender equally useful for an edging plant or the back of a flower border. While not reliably hardy in our region, they deserve space in the Garden. Dwarfs for edging include Nana Alba. This variety grows to one foot and has gray foliage and white flowers.
