Name:' Munstead' lavender
(Lavandula angutifolia 'Munstead')Zones: 4 to 8
Size: 18 inches tall and 2 feet wide
Conditions: Full sun; well-drained soil
Although sources list it as hardy only to Zone 5, 'Munstead' lavender returns reliably in my Zone 4 garden,even at an elevation of 4,800 feet. Deer stay away from it because of its strong fragrance-which is why I love it. 'Munstead' is evergreen but gets a litte leggy here after winter. I recommend cutting it back
to 3 to 5 inches above the ground each spring for full, compact growth.
