Lavender is easily cultivated in Mediterranean type environments. There are over forty-five varieties. Check with your garden center to plant lavender suited to your climate zone. French lavender species grow well indoors.

Many English, Spanish and French lavender types shine in the garden with their stunning silver and velvet foliage.

Cultivate a lavender shrub section in your flower bed with spring bulbs and summer roses to have non-stop blooms from April to fall. The barrel shaped blossoms tip and bend in an array of mauve tones.
