Lavender 'Lady'

'Lady' lavender is a compact variety with lavender-blue flowers. It has a wonderful fragrance that is perfect for potpourri. It is the best-smelling English lavender I have grown. The flowers attract bees and butterflies, and the compact plants are terrific in rock gardens and containers.

'Lady' lavender is a first-year flowering perennial that grows quickly. It can be grown as a short hedge and sheared twice a year to keep the plants compact and bushy.

This drought-tolerant perennial thrives in poor, well-drained soil. It was an All-America Selections winner in 1994.
