Zulauf English Lavender

Lavender is botanically known as Lavandula angustifolia 'Hidcote'. This plant is a versatile addition to flower and herb gardens. It grows bushy and compact, reaching a height of about 40 cm, making it ideal for beds or pots. The dark blue flowers appear during the summer months of July to August and attract numerous bees and butterflies with their intense fragrance, making the plant an important contributor to biodiversity in the garden.

A sunny location and well-drained soil are ideal for this plant, which should be kept regularly moist to promote vigorous growth. The flowers are edible and can be used in creative dishes, teas, or as decorative elements on food. Additionally, as it is evergreen, the plant retains its foliage in winter, giving it an attractive appearance year-round.

Easy to care for and frost-resistant, it is an excellent choice for beginners. Its low susceptibility to snails makes it particularly low-maintenance, and as a non-toxic plant, it is also well-suited for gardens with children and pets. This aromatic plant not only brings vibrant color but also a delightful fragrance to the garden, turning every summer bloom into a sensory experience.
