Lavender
Lavandula spp.
Description: Lavender is a fragrant, drought-tolerant perennial herb prized for its silvery-green foliage, upright growth habit, and spikes of purple to blue flowers. Blooming from late spring through summer, this Mediterranean native thrives in herb gardens, borders, and containers, adding beauty, fragrance, and pollinator support. Lavender is valued for both its ornamental appeal and its calming, aromatic properties, making it a must-have for any garden.
Wildlife Benefits: Lavender’s nectar-rich blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators, while its aromatic foliage helps deter unwanted garden pests.
Medicinal Benefits: Traditionally used for relaxation, sleep support, and skin care, Lavender is rich in essential oils with soothing and antimicrobial properties. Its flowers and leaves can be used fresh or dried in teas, oils, sachets, and herbal preparations.
Native Status: Native to the Mediterranean, Lavender thrives in warm, dry climates and adapts well to Georgia’s growing conditions when provided with well-drained soil.
Pollinator Friendliness: With its long-lasting blooms, Lavender provides an important nectar source for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators throughout the growing season.
Planting Guidelines:
Height: 12–36 inches (varies by species)
Spacing: 12–24 inches
Sun/Shade: Requires Full Sun
How to Grow: Lavender thrives in well-drained, sandy, or rocky soil and requires minimal watering once established. Prune lightly after flowering to encourage bushy growth and prevent woodiness. Avoid overwatering, as Lavender is highly drought-tolerant. Harvest flowers just before full bloom for the most potent fragrance and medicinal benefits.
Grow Lavender for its soothing aroma, pollinator appeal, and versatile herbal benefits—an easy-care, evergreen herb that enhances both garden and home.
