Tips for growing lavender:
-These plants require full sun and well-drained soil.
-Prune back your lavender each spring.
-Plant with drought-tolerant companions such as coneflower, sedum, black-eyed Susan, roses, and shasta daisies.
-Because of its Mediterranean origin, lavender loves blazing hot sun and dry soil.

-Zones 5-11
-Bloom time: Mid-to-late summer
-This popular hybrid combines the cold hardiness of English lavender with the heat tolerance of Portuguese lavender (L. latifolia). It typically starts blooming a few weeks later than most English lavenders and features long spikes of highly fragrant flowers. Although not considered edible (due to high camphor content), the flowers and foliage are often added to sachets and potpourris. Photo by Peter Radacsi.
