This Standard French Lavender makes a great specimen for the patio or by your front door to perfume the entrance to your home.

Lavender is one of the most useful plants you can grow in your garden; the pretty violet flower spikes can be dried to make aromatic arrangements or pot pourri. It can be used in aromatherapy for relaxation and its healing properties or simply left to grow in the garden where it will repel pests from nearby shrubs and roses.
