Growth Habits of Lavender?
I've got a new bed to fill between the front of my porch and a newly-laid
sidewalk. I've already decided against typical shrubs and am going to put in perennials. The tallest plants will be a mixture of oriental lillys simply because I like how they look and smell. The problem comes in deciding what to plant with them to screen their bases. Lavender came to mind but I realized that I know basically nothing about it. If you can help: does lavender die back in winter? how closely can it be planted to allow for growth and still present a solid appearance? recommended variety for lower growth (18"-24") and good fragrance? I guess that my USDA zone would be somewhere between 6-7 -- not really sure that it matters in this case. The area in question receives at least 1/2 day of sun but no more because there are so many tall trees on the property. TIA -- John McGaw [Knoxville, TN, USA] http://johnmcgaw.com |
