One of the most recognizable garden plants, lavender can greatly enhance the pleasure your backyard brings, but do you know about their different varieties?
All lavender varieties are neat-growing, aromatic, drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, evergreen shrubs that appreciate good drainage and plenty of sunshine. Though they vary in size from 14in-4ft, many are highly suited to borders, path edging, and low hedges, plus patio pots and large containers. An essential ingredient in many fragrances, new varieties feature a higher oil content, plus attractive foliage and improved hardiness. Most have gray foliage that sets off their purple, lavender, pink, or white flowers prettily.
