Lavender, Lullingstone Castle – Lavandula x intermedia is a wonderful variety of Lavender with excellent silver foliage and long mauve flower heads. The violet flowers have a strong scent and are ideal for drying. The flowers are also very attractive to bees and pollinators.
As with all lavenders Lullingstone Castle prefers well drained soil in full sun. Relatively easy to grow, simply cut back the flower stalks after they have finished, and then trim back plants again in April, if necessary.
Throughout history lavender has been grown for its medicinal properties. The essential oil is still in huge demand worldwide.
Lavender is also a tasty culinary herb. Use in many recipes such as desserts, baking, cool drinks and cocktails. Try a delicious lavender lemonade in summer months!
