Lavender
Lavandula angustifolia

A popular plant grown for potpourri, Lavender likes to grow in full sun and well-drained soil. Hardy in zones 6-9, this plant reaches a height of up to 20 inches and a width of up to 24 inches. Bees thoroughly enjoy the pollen of Lavender. Lavender flowers June through August, however, the flowers after July tend to look "tired" during the heat of the summer months. To revive this plant, shear off all the flowers; the plant will resume its natural beauty.
