A well-rounded ball of a Lavender perfect for filling out the front of the border. This is one of our earliest Lavenders to show color each year, with spikes of true lavender flowers continuing to pack the plant as summer progresses. Blooms without vernalization. 'Summer Serenade' was selected for its compact, landscape characteristics.
Lavender is a versatile and attractive addition to any landscape, offering fragrant blooms that attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. Its silvery foliage and vibrant purple flowers provide year-round visual interest and pair beautifully with other sun-loving plants. Lavender is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance once established, making it ideal for sustainable gardens. Plus, its aromatic qualities can be enjoyed in fresh or dried arrangements, adding beauty and function to outdoor spaces.

English Lavender thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, ideally sandy or loamy with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH. Avoid overwatering, as lavender prefers dry conditions and is highly susceptible to root rot in poorly drained soils. Space plants to allow good air circulation and prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth. Mulching with gravel rather than organic material helps keep the crown dry and prevents fungal issues.
