Gently slide your fingers along a lavender spike, close your eyes and drift into the haze of summer with bees buzzing and the sunshine warming your skin. The scent of lavender evokes sweet dreams of bygone days. 

Lavender, a hardy perennial, is popular with most gardeners, both for its fragrance and form. Lavender is also a favorite scent for men, second only to pumpkin pie spices.

Lavenders come in all sizes, colors and shapes. There are mauve, violet, dark purple, pink, white and even yellow lavenders. English, Italian, French, Spanish, Australian, New Zealand and American lavenders are on the market. 

Lavenders range in size from the Blue Cushion at 8-10’’ to the Seattle lavender, Wooly, that measures 48” high. 

Spanish lavenders, Stoechas, have an usual flower head topped by three showy petals, thus the common name for Spanish is butterfly lavender. 

Lavender has been used for centuries to help relieve the discomfort of headaches and stress. Eye pillows of flax and lavender are used for this purpose as well as soothing essential oil of lavender. 

Potpourris utilize lavender’s clean fragrance. Herbs de Provence is a blend of Mediterranean spices, including lavender, that's fabulous on chicken, lamb, beef, or potatoes. We carry lavender that's best for fragrence, decoration, baking and cooking.

At Blue Heron Herbary we use lavender in our teas, bath blends, massage oils, and sachets. An old English custom was to make lavender wands from lavender flowers and stems, by bending the stems down over the flowers and weaving ribbon through the stems. We make these lavender wands every summer.

Lavender is a wonderful addition to the garden.
