Plants: Lavandula angustifolia 'Munstead' - English Lavender

Munstead Lavender is early blooming and fragrant. The plants are compact. Grows 12-18 inches high. Plant 18 inches apart. Hardy in zones 5-9.

Appearance: Lavender is a perennial evergreen shrub with narrow, silver, needlelike leaves on bushy plant up to 10 inches tall. The lavender-blue flowers appear in summer and stretch up about 6 inches higher.

Growing Know-How: Plant in full sun and clean, well-drained soil 12 inches apart. Mulch with an inch or two of coarse sand. Give the plant time to reemerge in spring before trimming. In areas with mild winters, you can shear growing lavender into a low hedge, knot, or edging. Remove faded flowers.

The perennial plants are "homegrown" by Hirt's and ready for shipment. In cold regions simply place the plants on the windowsill until you are ready to plant outside in the spring. Plants are shipped on Monday and Tuesday via UPS.
