Munstead Strain English Lavender Lavandula angustifolia ‘Munstead Strain’

1 gallon pot

A classic English lavender with fragrant gray-green foliage and abundant spikes of lavender-blue to violet flowers. Its compact, bushy habit and wonderfully aromatic flowers make it excellent for sunny borders, herb gardens, pathways, and containers. The blooms are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators and are excellent for cutting and drying.

‘Munstead Strain’ is a seed-grown strain, so some natural variation in flower color and habit can occur. It thrives in full sun and lean, sharply drained soil and is quite drought tolerant once established. Avoid overly rich or consistently wet soil, particularly during our Pacific Northwest winters.
