Classic Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is one of the most beloved and classic lavender varieties. This delightful plant produces beautiful purple flowers with a wonderful fragrance that attracts bees and butterflies to the garden. Classic Lavender thrives best in sunny spots with well-drained soil. It is very hardy and tolerates cold well, making it well suited to Australian gardens. The plant flowers from December to February and the blooms can be dried and used for fragrance in the home or as a seasoning in cooking. This lavender variety is ideal for flower beds, rock gardens, herb gardens or as a standalone specimen plant. It requires minimal care and is very drought-tolerant once established. Lightly prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth.
