An oldie-but-goodie that was introduced back in 1916, Munstead has stood the test of time remaining as one of the most popular Lavender varieties in the world still today. Thought by many to be the hardiest of all lavenders, Munstead features abundant spiked clusters of rich lavender flowers that fill the air with a sweet intoxicating fragrance from late spring through most of the summer. The highly fragrant flowers attract butterflies and beneficial pollinators and are excellent for both fresh or dried flower arrangements and bouquets, sachets and potpourri. Its compact habit and somewhat shorter stature makes it a good choice for edging paths and walkways, patios, or garden borders, or in containers. You might be happy to know that deer and rabbits turn their nose up to it.

Growing to only 12 to 18 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide, Munstead English Lavender is ideal for use as an accent in smaller garden spaces or in groupings or as a border where space allows. It is perfect as a border along walkways and paths and around patios and other outdoor living spaces where the pretty flowers and fragrance can be enjoyed. It has also done well for us in container gardens. A fine selection for herb gardens, perennial gardens, purple or lavender theme gardens, cut flower gardens, cottage gardens, and rock and fragrance gardens.

Suggested Spacing:  12 inches apart for mass plantings or solid borders; 24 inches or more apart for space between plants

Lavender is easy to grow in a moist to somewhat dry well-drained soil of average to low fertility and plenty of sun. Constantly soggy soil or standing water is problematic. If desired, the plant can be cut back by one-third its height after flowering to maintain a fuller plant. For example, if your plant is 30 inches tall you can cut it back to 20 inches tall.
