Lavandula angustifolia

Plant in full sun with excellent drainage, watering sparingly once established, perhaps once a week in dry conditions. Prune after the first flush of flowers and lightly again in late fall to promote bushiness. Enjoy its fragrant purple blooms from late spring to early summer.

Rosa 'Flower Carpet Red'
