Lavandula spp.: characteristics and care
*Lavandula* spp., popularly known as lavender, encompasses various ornamental species and varieties of the *Lavandula* genus, selected for their aromatic foliage and striking blooms in shades of blue, violet, or pink during the warmer months.
Their fragrance and prolonged flowering make them a highly versatile choice for flowerbeds and borders, as well as for gardens dedicated to aromatic plants and pollinators.
They tolerate drought very well once established and adapt to poor, calcareous soils, provided there is good drainage.
At Ornacom we cultivate each specimen directly, guaranteeing a balanced size and vigorous development from the first years of planting.
