Lavender – Beautiful smell and very easy to grow.
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008
Lavender has a lovely scent and attracts bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies. It is very easy to care for, basically make sure you water it if it hasn’t rained for 10 days to 14 days. Lavender is drought tolerant and some say it does not even need fertilizer. It is a great companion plant for black eyed susans, day lilies, and cone flowers. I use lavender in cut flower arrangements with roses and in sachets. I also dry lavender in bunches for decoration. It is like having a little piece of Provence in your yard.
