Vera Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia ?Vera?) is a highly prized variety of English lavender, renowned for its robust growth, enchanting fragrance, and versatile uses. This hardy perennial grows in a bushy, upright habit, reaching 18?24 inches tall and wide, with slender, gray-green foliage and spikes of fragrant, violet-blue flowers that bloom from late spring to summer. Thriving in full sun and well-drained, sandy or loamy soils with a pH of 6.5?8.0, Vera Lavender is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, making it an excellent choice for borders, rock gardens, or containers. Beyond its ornamental appeal, lavender offers numerous benefits: its essential oils are used in aromatherapy to promote relaxation and reduce stress, its dried flowers are popular for sachets and potpourris, and its blooms attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, supporting local ecosystems.
