This Lavandula is a low growing Lavender bush type which does well as an edging for paths bearing a lot of flowers making a fragrant Lavender hedge. The leaves of the plant are grayish green and narrow in form.
The dwarf qualities of the Munstead variety make it an asset to any garden and the flowers are especially attractive to butterflies. Wonderful to grow if you do not have a lot of space to devote to some of the larger Lavender varieties but impressive all the same. Munsteads sweet fragrance and lovely color make it great to use culinarily for cooking as well.
