French Lavender


This French Lavender is less hardy than traditional lavender so has to be in a pot to bring in to overwinter unless in a very sheltered spot.  I just love the petals which are supposed to look like butterflies, hence the variety being called 'Papillon' but I think they look more like rabbit ears..We've got it by the gravelled pond area and it should attract plenty of bees.  It just needs to be photographed....
