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
With proper care, lavender plants can flower profusely. Prune the plants twice a year, in April and in October. If you prune in October, do so to 25 to 45 centimetres above the ground, but make sure you leave a patch of greenery behind. 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 lavender plants regularly and make sure they get enough light.

Size
On delivery, the plant has a height of 30-40cm, measured including the nursery pot. The plant is delivered in a 12 cm diameter nursery pot.
