Can’t have a garden without lavender! Late season special from greenhouse.
Originally bought in 2007, transplanted to a new house in 2008. I absolutely adore this lavender, it’s kind of like a pet now.

kelly's Lavender 'Munstead' Care Instructions
Try for a seed spacing of at approx. 1.95 inches (5.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.23 inches (0.6 cm) if planning to sow direct.
Lavender 'Munstead' can grow to a height of approximately 1.95 feet (that's 60.0 cm in metric) so ensure you have enough space in your garden for this plant.
Your garden has full sun light which is ideal for Lavender 'Munstead'.
Your garden has combination soil: planting in sand soil will ensure your plant thrives.
Try to apply water fairly sparingly.
Your garden's USDA Hardiness Zone (6b) is within the ideal range for Lavender 'Munstead'. The recommended range is between Zone 5 and 9.
Try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.1 and 8.5 as Lavender 'Munstead' likes to be in acidic to alkaline soil.

I love this dwarf Lavender variety. One of the best fragrances of all the Lavenders I think.

And isn’t it a joy to weed around, or walk around, or rub your hand across? The scent is amazing. I grew 17 lavender plants from seed several years ago. I think 12 remain in my garden and are going great in a corner area. One of these years I’ll figure out to dry them correctly. Last year was a bust.

I definitely agree with you two! I have another lavender in the garden bed of doom (so named because the previous owners of the house didn’t take care of it for years and I’m in the process of completely redoing it) and digging up all those weeds and heavily compacted bulbs wasn’t quite so bad while I was up against the lavender and had that lovely scent to accompany me!
