Wolds Way Lavenders

French Lavender

(Lavendula Stoechas)

More typical of Provence and hot, dry Mediterranean regions.

Not fully hardy; makes an excellent container plant that can be brought under cover in winter;

cultivated for more than 400 years

a favourite both for its intense fragrance and also the short dense flower spikes topped with dramatic rich violet bracts;

best grown in a warm sheltered position.
