The purple fragrance of the Mediterranean
Native to the Mediterranean basin, Lavender thrives under the blazing sun and in poor soils, filling the garden with its fragrant spikes and the hum of bees.
Drought-resistant and heat-loving, it rewards neglect with generous, fragrant flowering, and its dried flowers are prized for perfumery and relaxation alike.
"Lavender doesn't just decorate the garden — it perfumes the whole air."
01
Styling Tip 01
Full Sun
Give it the brightest spot: full sun is the key to its intense fragrance and generous flowering.
02
Styling Tip 02
Infrequent Watering
Let it dry out completely between waterings; it hates excess moisture and its roots rot easily.
03
Styling Tip 03
Prune After Flowering
Prune after flowering to keep a dense shape and prevent it from becoming woody.
