Lavender is such a beautiful herb with many health benefits:

  • Can help clear pimples
  • Reduce asthma symptoms
  • Help you sleep
  • Reduce high blood pressure
  • Works as a natural pain reliever

You can grow it in the ground or in containers but placement it very important. Lavender needs sun and water but not too much of either. Keep it in a warm place, in the sun, and water well but let the soil almost dry completely before you water again. There is never a need to fertilize this herb. If you are a sometime gardener, one that is just getting started, or one that has not had the best luck with plants, this might not be the plant for you. My best advice when choosing which lavender to plant is to go to a local nursery that is close to your home and ask them which variety works best in your area.
