Blue Cushion English Lavender
Best low-maintenance perennial for gardeners seeking fragrant, pest-resistant color.
This is the rare lavender that actually survives in wetter climates without sacrificing its signature fragrance or compact, rounded form. While it demands a spot in full sun, its ability to thrive where other varieties rot makes it the most reliable choice for a low-maintenance, pollinator-friendly garden.
