150+ Seeds Italian Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) Perennial Fragrant Purple Blooms Easy Grow

Begin your own lavender patch with these Italian Lavender seeds (Lavandula angustifolia), a compact evergreen perennial that sends up slender wands of rich purple, highly fragrant flowers. The silvery-green foliage forms a neat, mounded shrub that suits borders, containers, and herb gardens alike, and invites beneficial pollinators all season long.

Grow it for its beauty, or harvest the flower spikes for fresh or dried arrangements, sachets, potpourri, and as a flavorful addition to baked goods and herb blends. Lavender thrives in full sun with gritty, well-drained soil, and once established it tolerates dry spells easily, making it a low-maintenance choice for gardeners of any skill level.
