The Pink Perfume Lavender Plants are certain to make a show in your yard all summer long. Plant along your front sunny walk way and the Pink Perfume Lavender will greet your guests with its wonderful fragrance. Separate areas of your garden with a low growing hedge of Lavandula angustifolia 'Pink Perfume'  .

The Pink Perfume is perfect for small yards, container gardens, cut flower gardens, and butterfly gardens. Use the rosy pink flower stems as cut flowers or dry for potpourris. Plant in well drained soil. The Pink Perfume Lavender is drought tolerant and blooms from May to September. Pink Perfume attracts bees, butterflies and hummingbirds to your garden.

How to Use Lavender

How to Dry Lavender:

Cut flowers in morning – after dew evaporates yet before heat of day

(Rubber) band together in bunches of about a dozen or so stems
Hang upside down in a warm dimly lit space with adequate ventilation
Dry for one to weeks – until stalks are completely dried
Once dried – dislodge the buds by rolling them back/forth in a towel or newspaper
Store buds in an air tight container
Use your Hidcote and Munstead lavender plant blooms in late spring and summer dishes. Fresh blooms should be submerged into water for a minute to release any dirt or insects hanging on. Dry the fresh lavender by wrapping them in a towel and lightly squeezing them. Lavender mixes beautifully with herbs such as rosemary, thyme and oregano.

Use fresh or dried lavender in the following dishes:

Chicken (especially roasted chicken – my favorite!)
Tuna or other strong flavored fish
Salads (fresh lavender preferably)
Stews
Custards
Sorbets
Chocolate
Jelly
Sweets – cookies and cakes
Heavy sauces (usually made with alcohol reductions/heavy creams)
Breads
Lavender honey - heat clean fresh blooms (no chemicals used) in regular or other flavored honey on low until lightly simmering. Strain flowers or leave in honey. Cool and enjoy.

Plant your own lavender plants for culinary and crafts.
