Lavandula angustifolia Munstead

Munstead Lavender

A lavender variety particularly prized for its early flowering and intense fragrance. Its delicate blue-purple flower spikes appear in late spring and persist throughout the summer. The aromatic grey-green foliage completes the beauty of the plant, adding both texture and fragrance to the garden. This compact lavender makes it an ideal choice for borders, beds, or in pots. It attracts bees and butterflies, as well as being a drought-tolerant plant. Once established, it is drought-tolerant, but moderate watering is recommended during the establishment phase. It is essential not to overwater lavender, as excess moisture can cause root rot problems. It is recommended to protect the roots with mulch in colder regions. Pruning should be carried out after flowering, in early autumn or the following spring, to remove dead stems and encourage new growth. Regular pruning helps maintain a compact shape and encourages even more abundant flowering.
