Lavender For Homeowners
A Complete Guide to Choosing, Planting, Growing, Pruning, and Caring for Beautiful Lavender
By Roger S Smith
Lavender is one of the most beloved plants in the home landscape, valued for its beautiful flowers, distinctive fragrance, attractive foliage, and ability to bring color and character to gardens, borders, pathways, containers, and outdoor living spaces. Yet growing healthy lavender is not simply a matter of planting it and watering it regularly. Success depends on understanding the plant's biology and creating the growing conditions that lavender naturally prefers.
