Lavender Types, Lavender Varieties, Companion Planting
Lavender is a very charming addition to most sunny gardens. Sun-loving and easy to grow, it requires infrequent watering and can thrive in poor soils provided plenty of sun is received throughout the day.
Planting lavender with other sun-loving plants sharing the same growing conditions can have other benefits. Many drought-tolerant plants attract the good bugs you want in your garden that in turn eat the ones you don’t want.
There is a wide array of pretty drought-tolerant plants that complement lavender in color, height, and bloom season, and will help you create many effective combinations.
Transforming a parched, dry spot into a lush, colorful and delightfully fragrant garden is possible!
