Lavender (Lavandula x 'Lady') - Description
A very nice tight and compact version of English Lavender that can actually bloom from seed the first year! This makes this a usable lavender even north of its normal range as an annual. Only reaching about 12" high and wide, use this plant as a front border plant or along a pathway, where you can enjoy its wonderful fragrance as your leg brushes up against it! Keep it sheared for a strong re-bloom.
Lavender (Lavandula x 'Lady') - 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.

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