With Provence Lavender (Lavandula x intermedia Provence) you'll easily be able to imagine you're in the French countryside where this particular form of Lavender is grown for its wonderful perfume. Don't be shy to cut armfuls of lavender to bring into your home, either in fresh or dry flower arrangements, or as lavender bags for your linen and clothing cupboards. Your plants will only grow better from all the trimming. While lavenders are generally fairly easy to grow, they do need full sun and well-drained soil to thrive.
