Strongly scented. Lavender grows no taller than 100 cm and no wider than 50 cm. The blue-purple flower spikes grow to be <u>+<\/u> 8 cm long.<br>\nThere are more than a hundred different lavender species and cultivars, and by no means are they all hardy.<br>\nThe very hardy <em>Lavandula angustifolia<\/em> (English lavender) is a favourite in cottage gardens. The height of this species ranges from 30 to 100 cm.<br>\nLavender oil is obtained from the flowers and used as a fragrance in soaps and perfumes, among other things. The flowers are used in cooking as part of Provencal herbs. Lavender tea is said to be soothing.<br>\nLavender likes a chalky, dry soil in a spot in the sun. Heavy, wet clay soils are not suitable for lavender. If lavender is too wet, root rot can occur.<br>\nWhen applied as a hedge, maintain 30 cm as planting distance. If lavender is not pruned annually, it will wilt. The initially thin branches become thicker and the underside becomes bare. Pruning second half of March: prune to 15 cm from the ground. Cut away spent flowers after flowering (August through October).<br>\nThe flower spikes of lavender contain plenty of nectar; lavender is true bee plant.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=&rdquo;yes&rdquo;][vc_column width=&rdquo;1\/3&Prime;][vc_custom_heading text=&rdquo;Bugs&rdquo; font_container=&rdquo;tag:h4|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff&rdquo; google_fonts=&rdquo;font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&rdquo; css=&rdquo;.vc_custom_1532164328547{background-color: #585858 !important;}&rdquo;][vc_column_text el_class=&rdquo;entrytxt&rdquo;]<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5869\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5869\" style=\"width: 397px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/plantenplagen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lavendel_cicade.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5869 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/plantenplagen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lavendel_cicade-397x500.jpg\" alt=\"recognize foam on lavender\" width=\"397\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lavendel_cicade-397x500.jpg 397w, https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lavendel_cicade.jpg 496w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 397px) 100vw, 397px\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5869\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">White foam between stems, photo: Kevin Rooms<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>White foam (Cuckoo spit) between stems: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/en\/plantenplagen\/meadow-spittlebug\/\" target=\"_blank\" title='[vc_row][vc_column width=\"2\/3\"][vc_column_text el_id=\"topentry\" el_class=\"topentry\"]Meadow spittlebug, this + 6 mm sized insect is quite common and widespread.
