Lavender is so much more than just a relaxing scent. Beyond its most well-known use as a sleep aid, lavender also helps reduce anxiety and inflammation, fights germs, treats skin issues, and relieves headaches. In Beautiful Lavender, Janice Cox walks you through many varieties of lavender, and the best practices for growing and using different types. You will soon discover just how versatile and inspiring the lovely lavender plant can be.

Lovely fragrance and stunning color! A fragrant medium-sized mounding plant with notes of hyacinth, sweet honey and rose will be spectacular in the garden, containers or hanging baskets. It loves full sun and normal watering.
