Lavendula (Lamiaceae)
The famous poo pourri herb of the Mediterranean. A beautiful plant grown for centuries for its blue to purple, aromatic flowers that are dried and made into essential oil for the perfume trade. The color name lavender comes from the Latin name. Hardy in zone 4 if given excellent drainage and low fertility. A grit mulch around the plants can help control disease in our humid climate.
