Lavandula

(Lavender) Ang. Edelweiss

Picture a border in July: soft white flower spikes above silvery-green leaves, with bees drifting from one spike to the next. This white lavender (Lavandula angustifolia 'Edelweiss') smells sweet and herbal the moment you brush past it. Give it some room: it grows to about 60 cm tall and 50-60 cm wide, and for a full, buzzing border you can plan on 4-6 per square metre. Bees and butterflies love the flowers from early summer, and it looks lovely along a path, in a sunny border or in pots on the patio. Seasonal changes may affect whether this green friend arrives with flowers.

Give it the sunniest spot you have, because lavender needs plenty of sun to flower well and keep its scent. Plant it in well-drained soil, since wet roots in winter are the one thing it really dislikes, and mix in some sand or grit if your soil is heavy. Water it regularly while it settles in, then only in long dry spells, and a little more often in pots, which dry out faster. Trim it right after flowering, cutting off the spent stems and a little of the green growth, but never into old bare wood, as that rarely sprouts again. This lavender is hardy and copes with frost, so it can stay outside all winter.
