English Lavender, Lavandula angustifolia, is a fragrant flowering shrub, woody at the base, with slender grey-green foliage and slim stems of purple flowers during spring. This variety is much hardier in cold temperatures than the Italian or French lavender. Apart from the fact that is very attractive to bees and other pollinators, English Lavender is also a deterrent to mosquitoes, borers and fleas. Planting this hardy variety near the vegetable garden or citrus trees will assist with pollination and deter pests. Perfect for cottage gardens and hedging, rockeries and pots.
