English Lavender

About this plant

Lavandula angustifolia 'Munstead' is a quintessential English Lavender, celebrated for its compact growth and abundant, highly aromatic, deep purple flower spikes. This variety is an excellent choice for border plantings, rock gardens, or fragrant hedges, attracting beneficial pollinators with its rich perfume and providing a soothing atmosphere. Enjoy a continuous show of color and scent from late spring through summer. 'Munstead' is particularly prized for its cold hardiness and resistance to common pests and diseases, making it a reliable and low-maintenance addition to your landscape. Beyond its ornamental value, the flowers can be harvested for culinary use, essential oils, or dried for sachets and potpourri, bringing the delightful fragrance of your garden indoors.

Care & maintenance

Requires well-drained soil. Shear back spent flower stalks to encourage rebloom and maintain a tidy form. Prune in early spring to remove old wood and promote new growth. Avoid overwatering.
