Lavender

Latin Name: Lavandula 

Lavender is a fragrant herb with gray-green foliage and beautiful purple-blue flowers rich in aromatic oils. Regular pruning with clean shears is essential for encouraging new growth, increasing blooms, maintaining shape, and preventing woody stems. It thrives in well-draining soil and is valued for its calming properties, often used to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and support restful sleep. The flowers can be used in baked goods, beverages, essential oils, and dried arrangements, making lavender both a culinary and ornamental favorite. Rich in nectar, its blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators to the garden.
