Lavender is one of those multi-sensory plants, providing reliable year-round, silver-toned foliage, beautiful flower spikes throughout the summer, that unmistakable scent for potpourris and personal care products, and a culinary herb for sweet or savory dishes. 'Fat Spike Lavender' is so named because the flower spikes are exceptionally large and incredibly fragrant, even after drying. The plant itself grows two to three feet tall and wide, was bred to withstand both cold and heat, is avoided by deer and rabbits alike, and can handle drier locations once established. Bees love lavender, no reason for gardeners not to also!
