Lavender

Refreshing, clean aroma. Lavender offers a lovely combination of silvery-gray foliage with blooms in a range of violet shades. Popular for herbal crafts and dried arrangements. Lavender prefers well-drained, somewhat gravelly soil, and suffers in wet, humid climates. As a medicinal herb, lavender is calming to the nerves. The scent of lavender is said to help relieve headaches and nausea and the essential oil is antibacterial and antiseptic.
