Now is the best time to harvest your lavender — here’s how to do it the right way

Small bunches of lavender.

Lavender is one of my favorite garden plants and it’s a popular yard staple among professional and home gardeners alike. With a compact form and beautiful silvery gray foliage, it has a lot to offer in terms of structure and fragrance. It works well planted on its own or within a low hedge, where its fragrance can be released when you brush past.

What’s more, lavender is also admired by wildlife and is one of the best plants to attract butterflies and other pollinators to your yard. Another benefit is that it is easy to care for and is an ideal choice for a low-maintenance garden.
