Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia 'Munstead') - Description

A nice and compact version of English Lavender that gets to about 18" high and 24" wide. See fragrant flowers nearly all summer holding nicely above the silvery foliage of the shrubby plants. Use as a hedge or at the front of the border. Make sure to cut the first flowers when they start to fade to encourage a second blooming. You can dry the flowers for sachets and potpourris, or just use them as fresh cut flowers to bring their elegance and aroma to the indoors.

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia 'Munstead') - Blooming

Blooms are often purple or lavender in color, hence the common name. The flowers are moderately-very fragrant. Lavenders contain a large amount of nectar, and therefore attract bees.

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia 'Munstead') - Growth

Lavenders thrive in full sun. In climates that are too cold in the winter for year round growth, Lavenders will do fine being moved indoors on a bright window sill. Lavenders work well for drying to make potpourri.

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia 'Munstead') - Planting

Plant in areas that have good air circulation. Sow seeds in spring, in containers in a cold frame for protection. Can also propagate with semi-ripe cuttings in summer. Layering can be conducted in summer as well.

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia 'Munstead') - Pest

Can succumb to root rot in climates that have hot and humid summers. Other problems include root rot and leaf spot.
