100 Seeds Vera Lavender Lavandula angustifolia English Lavender Herb Garden

Vera Lavender is a classic English lavender variety known for its compact, uniform growth and fragrant, silvery-green foliage. It produces dense spikes of small, deep purple flowers that are highly attractive in garden beds, borders, and containers, and the blooms are a favorite of pollinators. This variety is prized for its strong, sweet scent and tidy, mounding habit, making it a versatile choice for both ornamental and practical garden use.
The flowers can be harvested for culinary use, dried arrangements, sachets, and craft projects, while the foliage adds texture and aroma to herb gardens and landscape plantings. Vera Lavender performs best in full sun with well-drained soil and is relatively drought-tolerant once established, making it a reliable selection for rock gardens, edging, and patio pots.
