Lavandula

(Lavender) Ang. Dwarf Blue

Picture a low, silvery cushion of lavender humming with bees on a warm July afternoon. Dwarf Blue is a compact lavender with narrow, grey-green leaves and short, deep violet-blue flower spikes that smell sweetly of summer when you brush past. It grows to about 40 cm tall and 40 cm wide, so it stays neat along a path, as a low hedge or at the front of a border. For a full, buzzing edge, plan on 6-8 per square metre, or tuck a few into a pot on the patio. Bees and butterflies love it from early summer on, and this green friend keeps its silvery foliage for much of the year. Seasonal changes may affect whether the plant arrives with flowers.

Give it the sunniest spot you have: lavender needs plenty of light to flower well and keep its fragrance. It likes light, well-drained soil, so mix in some sand or grit if your garden is heavy clay, because wet roots are the one thing it really dislikes. Water well in the first weeks after planting, then only during long dry spells; in a pot it dries out faster, so check the soil every few days in summer. Trim it lightly right after flowering, cutting into the green growth but never into old bare wood, which rarely sprouts again. This lavender is hardy, so it can stay outside all winter, as long as the soil doesn't stay soaked.
