Provence is one of the lavenders grown commercially in France. 30 to 36 inches tall and 24 to 30 inches wide, it produces long stems of pale lavender flowers prized for their fragrance and flavor. Gray-green foliage is also pleasantly aromatic. Grows in full sun and well drained soil. This lavender gets big, so plant it where it will have the space it needs. It is also woodier than other lavender.

Water Saving Tip:

Even though it's hot, your lawn only needs to be watered twice a week to stay healthy.

And don't water the whole lawn for a brown spot—drag out a hose.
