Our plant of the month for April is Lavender. Lavender is a tough woody perennial with silvery green foliage, upright flower spikes and grows into a compact shrub.

There are many different varieties and this beautiful aromatic plant comes in many colours from blue, purple, pink, white and green.
Lavender will make a stunning addition to your garden as a border, hedge or in a pot.
