Classic Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is one of the most beloved and classic lavender varieties. This delightful plant produces beautiful purple flowers with a wonderful fragrance that attracts bees and butterflies to the garden.

It is very hardy and tolerates cold well, making it perfect for British gardens. The plant flowers from June to August and the blooms can be dried and used for fragrance in the home or as a seasoning in cooking.

Lightly prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth.
