Fragrance and durability combine into something that’s truly an Imperial Gem! Imperial Gem English Lavender Plant (Lavandula angustifolia 'Imperial Gem') that is! These iconic plants are fragrant from top to bottom! The evergreen-looking silvery-green foliage is incredibly fragrant and the purple flower spikes are heavenly! Aromatic herbs like these are always fantastic to work with in the garden as they perfume the air in the sun!
Lavender attracts butterflies and bees all summer and then reblooms as fast as you can deadhead them! Fantastic bouquet additions because of the long stems, or create bundles to hang and dry to perfume the air, or use for crafts. The flowers also make a flavorful and soothing tea, and are an addition to some variations of Herbs de Province spice mix!
Imperial Gem scents your bathwater, helps you drift to sleep in a sachet in your pillow while glorifying your garden beds and borders outdoors or in containers around your patio! The resinous, floral and herbal scent soothes the mind, body and spirit!
