'Munstead' Lavender is said to be the hardiest variety of lavender. It is hardy in cold and hot environments, and perfect for cut or dried flowers! Lavender is known for its fragrant lavender purple flowers that top green wands of foliage. This compact version of lavender is fragrant as any other, and provides a shorter option that's great for edge planting. 
 
Munstead Lavender
 
Common Name: English Lavender
Rich lavender flower spikes fill the air with their sweet, intoxicating fragrance all summer long. Though this cultivar was introduced to the trade in 1916, it remains one of the most popular today. Its compact habit and relatively short stature makes it a good choice for edging. This is often said to be the hardiest variety of all Lavender. It is very similar to 'Hidcote'.  Lavender has been grown for centuries for its intensely fragrant flowers and beautiful appearance. It is a staple item of every sunny garden, and its dried flowers are widely used in potpourris and arrangements.
