Lavender is a tough evergreen shrub with a long blooming period. Tiny purple flowers bloom along upright stems in early summer and attract butterflies and bees. The silver to gray-green foliage is evergreen and contains the same fragrant oils found in the flowers. These small shrubs have a mounded form and remain compact with an annual trimming. Use lavender in xeriscapes, herb gardens, and Mediterranean-themed plantings for many years of low-maintenance beauty.
