Lavender blue dilly dilly...... Who does not love Lavender? Used since time immemorial as a medicinal herb, an insect repellent, an aromatic oil and a general all round house hold essential especially when there was a bit of strewing to be done. The Romans and Greeks used Lavender when bathing and that is the origin of the botanical name Lavandula (la-van-dew-la) which comes from the Latin word lavare meaning to bathe or wash. Lavenders natural home is the Mediterranean region, the Middle East and India. Believe it or not the much loved English Lavender does not come from England at all. It was probably introduced by a conqueror who like to smell nice and wouldn't travel anywhere without his favourite herb. History tells us that Lavender grew in England from about 1265 onwards. Talking of smelling nice Lavender is one of the main ingredients in the world famous Eau de Cologne, 4711, named after the street number of the 18th century inventor of "water from Cologne".

aka English Lavender

Top performing Leigh Lavenders are ideally suited to New Zealand gardens with a range of rich colours, forms and fragrances. These long flowering plants love the hot dry Kiwi summer climate and will equally work well in pots or the garden. Evergreen. PVR

These quick growing perennials are great in pots mixed with other perennials in the flower garden or even as a small clipped hedge. A great companion plant for a potager garden plant near a path or deck to enjoy the fragrance of the foliage and flowers. Lavenders grow best in full sun in a well-drained position. A light trim or deadhead during spring and summer will encourage repeat flowering. Trim more vigorously at the end of summer to rejuvenate your plant for spring.
Suitable for warmer areas including Auckland/Northland
