A lavender plant has so much to give, so try to find a place for one somewhere in the garden. The Munstead Lavender is a slow growing variety to about 12 to 18 inches tall and wide, making the possibilities endless. Monrovia growers mentions that the Munstead has similar requirements as western natives, making it a suitable choice for xeriscape or wild gardens in dry climates. A traditional mixed border with perennials and flowering shrubs also makes a good home for any of the lavender varieties. Consider the Munstead even in large pots on sunny patio or deck. A potted lavender is a must have in herb gardens, and the flowers are extremely popular in perfumes and sachets. Plant lavenders in full sun in soil that is well drained. Little fertilizer is needed, and these plants are drought tolerant once established. Hardy to USDA zone 5 and all higher zones.
