We’ve had several frosts and freezes, but look which flower is still going strong (even the baby plants):
The past few years I wasn’t 100% sold on lavender but enjoyed it for its whimsy and purpleness. But now I have a much greater appreciation. My established plants have bloomed three or four times since spring and basically never looked bad. It is pretty easy to propagate. The pollinators loved it. It barely needs water. It’s an amazing addition to a vase. The flowers make a nice tea when combined with lemon balm. It is going to last into NOVEMBER. And theoretically I could learn how to make potpourri or something with it.
One of my plans for next year is to propagate much, MUCH more of this delightful plant, and make sure I get some in the front yard as well.
