Lavender

Lavender are at the peak, they are such Mediterranean plants that compliment roses so well.

Not only are they attractive but can be used to deter moths in clothes’ cupboards.

Tip
Love a sunny spot, in gravelly soil and can take a bit of wind. They do not like humidity, so mulch with gravel rather than pea straw type mulches as they can trap moisture and cause root rot.
