The Luxury of Lavender

Here at PRHF we are crazy about lavender! We decided to make an entire newsletter around it. Have you ever thought about landscaping your property with lavender, what you could harvest and make with it, or about specific products we sell here! Well, look no further because we have all the answers!

Lavender is one of the most popular essential oils, that promotes relaxation and believed to treat anxiety, fungal infections, allergies, depression, insomnia, eczema, nausea, and menstrual cramps.n aromatherapy, as a massage oil, is used as a soothing sedative. Medicinally, it is antiseptic and anti-inflammatory; making an excellent ointment for burns and bites. Lavender’s antiseptic qualities first drew people to use it on their linens as a vermifuge and it has been in soap and sachet mixtures ever since.

For the gardener using lavender in the landscape, it is a stunning, deliciously fragrant, addition. Lavender is sandy soil tolerant & a sun lover. It works great by a concrete [pool surround, walkway or gravel path or driveway. It’s also salt & drought tolerant, and deer resistant as well!

GROWING TIPS:

Keep your lavender on the dry side avoiding overhead irrigation if possible. Mulch with light-colored gravel or even crushed seashells to keep down weeds and throw heat up into the plant and avoid fungal diseases. Cut back lightly after blooming is finished to a nice shape for next year’s growth.
