Lavandula angustifolia, known as English lavendar, is a highly aromatic, drought resistant, hardy, flowering perennial used for cooking in many cultures.
This is the preferred lavendar for cooking as it is sweeter and floral, adding subtle character and depth to sweet and savory dishes alike.
The leaves are tomentose (fuzzy), fragrant and grey, bringing a softness to a garden and a fragrance that smells of sun and peace.
The soft purple flowers that appear throughout the summer are synonymous with Mediterranean gardens and summer bouquets.

- Trim back when it gets too leggy
