Lavandula angustifolia ‘Munstead’ Description

Lavandula angustifolia ‘Munstead’ is a compact English lavender with aromatic grey-green leaves and numerous spikes of lavender-blue to purple flowers in summer. It generally reaches around 40 to 50cm high and forms a broad rounded mound, making it useful for path edging, gravel gardens, patio pots and informal low hedges. The fragrant flowers are valuable to pollinating insects and can be dried for scented arrangements. Grow in full sun in neutral to alkaline soil with excellent drainage. Once established it tolerates drought and should not be overwatered or heavily fed. Persistent winter saturation is a common cause of failure in Irish gardens. Trim lightly after flowering, keeping cuts within leafy growth and avoiding old bare stems.
