Provence Lavender Live Perennial Plants - 10 Pint Pots

In this review of Greenwood Nursery's Provence Lavender live perennials, the bottom line is simple: these are fragrant, long-blooming plants best suited to sunny, well drained gardens and containers. The set of 10 pint pots is ideal for gardeners who want a quick way to add a classic lavandin with pale blue to purple blooms that attract bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. The biggest reason to buy is their combination of aroma and reliable summer-to-autumn flowering, making them a practical choice for xeric, rock and border plantings when planted in full sun with limited watering.

Key Features

• Fragrant blooms: The Lavandula x intermedia du Provence produces a strong scent that enhances pathways, patios and container groupings.
• Long bloom season: These lavandin plants begin blooming in mid to late spring and continue through summer into autumn for extended color.
• Wildlife friendly: Pale blue to purple flower spikes attract bees, butterflies and hummingbirds, supporting pollinators in the garden.
• Drought tolerant: Suited to dry, well drained soil and xeric gardens, they perform well in heat when not overwatered.
• Compact mature size: Plants grow to about 1 to 2 ft tall with a 2 ft spread, making them useful for edging, berms and containers.
• Edible buds: The du Provence is cultivated for dried buds and oil, so it is a practical choice for harvesting flowers.

Who It's For

Gardeners who need a fragrant, low water perennial for full sun locations will find this 10-pack of Provence Lavender especially useful. It is a good match for those planting xeric borders, rock gardens, hillsides or container displays where a medium-growth evergreen perennial that attracts pollinators is desired.

Those who should look elsewhere include gardeners with persistently wet or poorly drained soil and buyers who need large, mature specimens immediately; these arrive as pint pots meant to establish and expand, and they prefer dry conditions and restrained watering to thrive.
