Looking for a plant that brings a whole lot of fragrance and charm to your garden? Look no further than Munstead English Lavender. Perfect for those dry, sunny spots in zones 5-9, this variety is known for its compact growth and early blooming, delivering a delightful sensory experience both visually and aromatically. Munstead’s foliage boasts a striking blue-green color with a shimmering silver touch when basked in sunlight. This bushy lavender’s aroma is just as strong as its beautiful blooms, making it an excellent choice for lining walkways or adding near your favorite garden nook. You’ll find that bees and butterflies can’t get enough of it, and we bet you’ll feel the same! Named after Gertrude Jekyll’s home, Munstead Wood, this lavender has been adored since World War I for its dense blooms and robust growth, even in challenging conditions. You can anticipate Munstead reaching about 12 to 18 inches in height and spreading up to two feet wide. Its foliage transitions from a gray-blue to a mix of green and silver as it matures, while the flower stems, adorned with vivid purple florets, provide a stunning display in mid- to late summer. In the garden, Munstead is low-maintenance, just needing a little trim early in the spring and a quick tidy-up post-blooming. Thriving in well-drained soil under the open sun or in a spacious container, it complements a variety of annuals and perennials and makes an attractive border in front of shrubs. Packet contains approximately 1.5 grams.
