Styling and inspiration: lavender as a versatile garden plant

Lavender is a real all-rounder in the garden and fits into almost any style. From rustic farmhouses to sleek modern gardens, lavender always adds something special. Here are some ideas for making the most of lavender.

Borders and Edging: Use lavender as a low hedge or border plant to line paths and flower beds. Its silvery-grey leaves and purple flowers create a beautiful contrast with surrounding plants.

Center of attention: A large lavender bush can serve as a focal point in a sunny garden bed. Combine it with plants such as roses, salvia or Echinacea for a lush and colorful effect.

Pots and patios: Lavender also does very well in pots. Place it on your patio or balcony to enjoy its scent and beauty. Make sure it is in a pot with good drainage.

Mediterranean vibe: Lavender conjures up images of summery landscapes in the South of France. Combine it with olive trees, rosemary and thyme for a Mediterranean vibe.

Dried flowers: Pick the flowers when they are just in bloom and dry them to use in scented sachets or flower arrangements. Lavender retains its scent and color for a long time, even after drying.
