Lavandula angustifolia, commonly called English Lavender, is a sun loving perennial herb plant with mid to late spring bloom time. It is known as a xerophyte which by definition is a plant that has adapted to living in dry climate conditions. Poor soils are not a problem and are in fact preferred over rich moist ones. This makes Lavender perfect for sun drenched planting locations such as a hot dry bank that can be a real landscape problem area and can still withstand cold conditions during fall and winter. Evergreen. Hardy.

Excellent for crafts and dried flowers as they retain their color.

English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), also called True Lavender or Common Lavender is a type of lavender often associated with the famous purple lavender fields of Provence.
