English Lavender
Growing English Lavender
‘English’ is an open-pollinated lavender prized for its highly fragrant foliage and flowers, classic appearance, and usefulness when dried. Aromatic plants bring both beauty and fragrance to sunny herb gardens and containers.
Start ‘English’ indoors for transplanting, as germination can be slow. Plant seeds about ⅛ inch deep and space plants 12 to 18 inches apart. Grow in full sun. This heat- and drought-tolerant variety is also well suited to containers.
Ready to begin harvesting in about 200 days, cut flowering stems when the blooms are at their best and bundle extras for drying.
Fragrant, elegant, and long lasting, ‘English’ is especially well suited to dried bouquets, sachets, fragrant crafts, containers, and ornamental herb gardens.
