Lavender is a fragrant, perennial plant from the Mediterranean region. Lavender not only looks beautiful in the garden, but is also a great asset in the home and in the kitchen. In the kitchen, young leaves can be used when preparing lamb or mutton, in fish dishes and stews. Lavender's fragrant stems are ideal for cutting or drying, and its nectar-rich flowers are particularly attractive to bees and humans alike.

Care
When properly cared for, lavender plants can bloom profusely. Prune the plants twice a year, in April and in October. If you prune in October, do so to 10 to 15cm above the ground, but be sure to leave a patch of greenery. The second pruning of lavender takes place after flowering, between August and October. The spent flowers should be removed by cutting them off. Any protruding twigs can also be removed. Water the lavender plants regularly and make sure they get enough light.

Size
When delivered, the plants have a height of 25-35cm, measured including the nursery pot. The plants are delivered in a wicker basket with a diameter of 15cm.
