Monrovia With Love Lavender
Best low-maintenance shrub for gardeners seeking heat-tolerant, deer-resistant color.
This heat-loving shrub trades the traditional purple hue for striking pink blooms that last well into the summer. It is a low-maintenance, deer-resistant workhorse that brings reliable structure to borders, though you will need to ensure your soil drains exceptionally well to keep it thriving.
