Description
A prolific bloomer that once established thrives in hot, dry and low-nutrient soil, ‘Sweet Romance’ Lavender forms a mound of silvery blue-green foliage topped with abundant large clusters of brilliant purple-blue flowers from early summer into fall. The flowers are a magnet to butterflies and other beneficial pollinators and are excellent for cutting and use in flower arrangements and sachets. Also a fine culinary herb with a savory and sweet flavor. The fragrant foliage and oils from lavender are a staple in aromatherapy for their stress-relieving properties. Excellent for pots, landscape borders and garden beds, just give this one plenty of sun and very well-drained soil and watch it grow.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 18 inches tall and wide, Sweet Romance Lavender is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings or mass plantings, or as a low hedge in landscape and perennial borders and herb gardens. Mass plantings are truly breathtaking. It has also done well for us in container gardens. A fine selection for herb gardens, perennial gardens, purple or blue theme gardens, cottage gardens, and rock and fragrance gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 15 inches apart for mass plantings or solid borders; 3 feet apart for space between plants

Growing Preferences
Lavender is easy to grow in a moist to somewhat dry well-drained soil of average to low fertility and plenty of sun. Constantly soggy soil or standing water is problematic. If desired, the plant can be cut back by one-third its height after flowering to maintain a fuller plant. For example, if your plant is 18 inches tall you can cut it back to 12 inches tall.
