How to grow Lavender

By Lisa Murano

We all have that one herb we can’t grow enough of and for me that herb is lavender. No matter how many lavender plants I have, I just can’t get enough of these fragrant purple flowers! I have been growing lavender for several years and by far my favorite variety is English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)

English lavender (also known as true lavender) is a small evergreen shrub and is the most aromatic variety of the lavenders. It is pest resistant and a low maintenance herb. It’s fairly easy to grow, but can be difficult to get started from seed. Many people choose to propagate lavender from cuttings instead as it is much easier.
