Lavender Munstead |
|
The yellow rounded flowers of Cotton Lavender make a great contrast with the dark blue hyssop flower spikes - the silver Cotton Lavender leaves providing continuing contrast and focus in the garden throughout the year. |
|
Raised bed (the only really well-drained part of our heavy clay soil garden which needs further work to improve soil quality!) - with a simple concentric scheme - Cotton Lavender as the outer edging, Common Thyme, Lavender and then a central cluster of three Hyssop plants showing their blue flower spikes. |
