This one year old Sweet Lavender is on its way to becoming a giant. One of the largest lavenders we grow; it will top out at close to four feet with its blooms.

This fast growing lavender is not suitable for cooking because of its high menthol content. It is a great specimen plant though 
and looks nice as a focal point when planted in groups of three or five. Just be sure to give it plenty of room.

Sweet Lavender is from France and Italy. It has a much greener leaf than most of the other lavenders, and has proven tough and reliable even when the temperatures dipped briefly to 5 degrees.

Sweet Lavender makes a great addition to our Zone 8 Fragrant Herb Garden Six Pack.
