Lavender
Is my favorite flower
commonly-cultivated lavender is the common or
English lavender Lavandula angustifolia (formerly named L.
officinalis) which is hardy to USDA Zone 5. Called “English” because it
proliferates in the English climate, lavender’s main requirements are
lots of sun and good drainage. It is not fussy about soil, and its
presence lures bees and butterflies also attracts pollinators to the
garden. Plant lavender along a walkway or near a seating area.
