Lavender

Lavender is the ultimate garden favourite — beautifully scented, wonderfully versatile, and incredibly easy to love. Its silvery evergreen foliage looks smart all year, while summer brings clouds of nectar-rich flowers in purple, violet, blue and soft pinks that bees can’t resist. Ideal for sunny borders, gravel gardens and cottage-style planting, lavender also thrives in pots, making it perfect for patios, paths and doorways where you can enjoy that unmistakable fragrance as you brush past. Hardy and drought tolerant once established, it’s a brilliant choice for low-maintenance colour, structure, and long-lasting scent — plus it’s perfect for cutting and drying for indoors too.
