Lavendel

Lavender for borders and garden edges

Lavender is a strong border plant for sunny positions with well-draining, rather dry soil. Its grey-green foliage and purple flowers add structure, colour and fragrance to borders, garden beds and edges along paths or terraces.

Plant lavender in groups or as a low row for a calm, Mediterranean look. Avoid soil that stays wet and prune lightly after flowering to keep the plants compact. Read our lavender care guide for more tips on planting, pruning and winter care.
