Lavandula

(Spanish Lavender) Stoechas Anouk

Picture a sunny border in late spring: plump purple flower heads topped with two little petals like rabbit ears, and bees circling in. That's Spanish lavender, and this compact Anouk is a green friend with fragrant, silvery-green leaves. It grows to about 50 cm tall and 40-50 cm wide, so give it a little room to spread. For a full, buzzing border, plan on 4-5 per square metre. Bees and butterflies love it from spring into summer, and it looks lovely along a path, in a gravel garden or in a pot on the terrace. 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 silvery, scented leaves. It likes light, well-drained soil, so mix in some sand or grit if your garden is heavy, because wet roots in winter are what it dislikes most. Water it well in the first season, then only in long dry spells, and check pots more often, as they dry out faster. Trim lightly after flowering to keep it round and compact, and don't cut back into old bare wood, because it rarely sprouts again from there. It copes with frost down to about -10 °C, so in a cold spell or in a pot, tuck it against a sheltered wall or add a layer of mulch or fleece.
