Lavender is the perfect choice for gardens according to the Horticultural Trades Association (HTA) because of its fragrance and ability to attract essential pollinators.
It has been named as its plant of the month for April with gardeners being encouraged to grow the multi-purpose flower.
There is a variety of lavender plants that will let you choose from a full spectrum of colours to create a uniform hedge or just have a collection of different shades.
Lavender plants make an excellent edge to a rose border or herb or vegetable garden.
It will also help soften the lines of hard landscaping such as terraces or patios and wherever it is planted lavender brings structure, colour and most significantly its alluring scent.
Nominated and agreed upon by British growers and retailers, the HTA’s plant of the month campaign highlights the plants that are widely available and look especially good in garden centres and nurseries each month.
