Lavender
By Kathy Pearson
UCCE El Dorado County Master Gardener
Imagine sitting in a Mediterranean garden - the sun on your face and the scent of lavender filling the air. You only have to inhale the perfume fragrance of lavender to become a lover. Lavender evokes calm and awakens the senses. Its lovely fragrance, its drought tolerance, its ability to grow in sunny, rocky habitats and poor soils makes it a wonderful addition to El Dorado County gardens. Plus, it attracts bees, beneficial insects, birds and butterflies!
