Introduced in 1916, 'Munstead' was named for Munstead Woods in England where it was a favorite of renowned garden designer, writer, and artist, Gertrude Jekyll. 'Munstead' flowers earlier than other lavenders and stays compact. English lavenders are preferred for culinary uses and oils. Heat- and drought-tolerant plants attract pollinators. Add the flowers to a simple syrup to make craft cocktails/mocktails or lavender lemonade. Bake into bread, cookies, or scones, and flavor jellies. Perennial in USDA zones 5-9.

    Volunteer Plants Galore!

    I started these from seed in 2024 and transplanted in late spring. I got a little lazy during fall & didn't deadhead the bloom stocks. This spring I found that I had 15+ volunteer plants come up. Will be moving those around the garden as needed/giving to friends but this packet was definitely worth it as I am looking to build a lavender hedge.

    I love lavender and loved it as a child. It pairs well with my fruit trees, roses, etc. The bees love it. We gift a lot of seeds.

    Lavender is so loved by bees. It pairs well with fruit trees I have noticed. I think it benefits pollination. Thank you so much for sending these wonderful seeds.
