Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.

  • Description

  • Notes

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.
