Lavender - and you already feel like you're in Provence
Lavender is simply wonderful. In addition, there are many species and varieties, and the most diverse colors.
Most popular: true lavender and Spanish or French lavender
Lavender - a wonderful feeling of «Provence» in your own home.
And you also have the choice: between compact-growing short and tall-growing species, between varieties
that produce purple, blue, white and even pink flowers.

But the distinctive Spanish or French lavender (pink-purple, white) is also increasingly popular.
Fragrant insider tips
Lavender grown in Provence is called «lavandin» (flashy blue-purple) and is a
hybrid that blooms later and has a very strong scent.
Two other strongly scented species are
fringed lavender (light blue) and spike lavender (purple-blue).
Lavender not only looks good as a potted plant or in a
balcony box, but also as a flowerbed border or as a plant to place with
roses because lavender's essential oils keep aphids away.
