Lavender is one of the more common garden and backyard flowers, and for good reason.
It has so many uses and benefits!
I have to admit that lavender is one of my very favorite flowers.
I have a few lavender plants started in our new yard, with plans of getting many more!
I would love to have a lavender forest, really, for just the scent alone.
Lavender is super easy to grow in most climates.
It doesnt require a lot of water, likes full sun and well drained soil.
It will form fairly large bushes that can easily be made into a hedge.
Harvest lavender as it blooms throughout the summer, and prune back by about a third each fall.
There are multiple lavender varieties to choose from, such as English, French, Grosso, and Provence.
Besides being easy to grow, lavender is also beautiful!
It is a lovely plant to have around, in your backyard or your front yard.
