Lavenders (botanically named Lavandula) are beloved flowering perennials known for their aromatic foliage and beautiful blooms. These plants typically feature silvery-green, fragrant leaves and tall, slender stems adorned with clusters of small, fragrant flowers in shades of purple, pink, and white. Lavenders are renowned for their ability to attract pollinators like bees and butterflies to the garden. Their compact and bushy growth habit, along with their tolerance for dry and sunny conditions, makes them excellent choices for Melbourne gardens. Lavenders are often used for creating stunning borders, aromatic hedges, or as additions to herb gardens, providing both visual appeal and a delightful fragrance.
