Lavandula

Description

Lavenders are small evergreen shrubs with grey-green linear leaves. The purple flowers are sparsely arranged on spikes at the tips of long bare stalks and produce small nutlet fruits. The fragrance of the plant is caused by shining oil glands imbedded among tiny star-shaped trichomes (plant hairs) that cover the flowers, leaves, and stems.

Perfect in the ground, in a pot or a container.
