English Lavender (1 Gallon)

Elegant, fragrant, and timeless — English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) has been cherished for centuries as a symbol of purity, calm, and devotion. Originating in the Mediterranean region, this beloved herb was once used in Roman baths for its soothing fragrance (the name “lavender” comes from the Latin lavare, meaning “to wash”). Throughout history, lavender has represented serenity, grace, and healing — making it as meaningful as it is beautiful.

✨ Why It’s Important:

English Lavender isn’t just admired for its beauty. Its aromatic blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, supporting the health of your garden. The soothing fragrance is also widely used in oils, sachets, and dried arrangements — a gentle reminder to slow down and invite peace into your home.

🌱 Care Instructions:

• Sunlight: Thrives in full sun (at least 6–8 hours daily).
• Soil: Prefers well-drained, sandy or loamy soil. Avoid heavy clay or wet areas.
• Watering: Water deeply but infrequently. Once established, lavender is drought-tolerant and thrives on minimal watering.
• Pruning: Trim lightly after flowering to encourage bushier growth and long-term health.

🌍 Where It Grows Best:

English Lavender loves warm, dry climates and is well-suited to USDA Zones 5–9. Perfect for borders, cottage gardens, containers, or as a fragrant edging along a walkway.

🌸 Complementary Plant Pairings:

• Roses – A timeless pairing that combines beauty and fragrance.
• Echinacea & Salvia – Both attract pollinators and share lavender’s love of sunshine.
• Rosemary & Thyme – Create a Mediterranean-inspired herb garden.
• Ornamental Grasses – Add soft movement and texture beside lavender’s upright blooms.

Whether you’re planting for beauty, fragrance, or meaning, English Lavender is a staple for the elegant Southern garden.
