Lavender 'Vera' (Lavandula angustifolia 'Vera')

Key Characteristics

  • Origin: 'Vera' lavender, botanically known as *Lavandula angustifolia* 'Vera', is considered an heirloom or "true" English lavender. It is thought to be one of the original species lavenders and has been cultivated for a long time, possibly for centuries. Its origins are in the Mediterranean region.
  • Patent Status: As an older, well-established cultivar of *Lavandula angustifolia*, 'Vera' lavender is not patented. It can be freely propagated and sold.
  • Flower Production: 'Vera' is highly prized for its intensely fragrant, slender spikes of lavender-blue flowers. The flowers are particularly rich in essential oils, making it a favorite for aromatherapy, potpourri, and culinary uses. It typically blooms in mid-summer, with the potential for a second, smaller flush of blooms later in the season if deadheaded.
  • Plant Size and Appearance: 'Vera' is a compact, bushy evergreen shrub that typically grows to a height of 1.5-2 feet (45-60 cm) and a spread of 2-2.5 feet (60-75 cm). It has narrow, silvery-gray to gray-green leaves that are also highly aromatic.
  • Flowering Time: 'Vera' typically blooms in mid-summer. It may produce a second, smaller bloom later in the season if the spent flowers are removed (deadheading).
  • Hardiness: 'Vera' is known for its excellent cold hardiness among English lavenders, generally hardy in USDA Zones 5 through 10 (some sources specify 4-9 or 5-9). It is a perennial in these zones, retaining its foliage through mild winters.
  • Pollination: The flowers are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, making it a valuable plant for pollinator gardens.
  • Growing Conditions:
    • Sunlight: Requires full sun (at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily) for optimal growth, abundant flowering, and the strongest fragrance.
    • Soil: Thrives in well-drained, even poor, soil. It prefers slightly alkaline to neutral soil (pH 6.7-7.3). Good drainage is crucial, especially in winter, as lavender is susceptible to root rot in overly moist conditions. Sandy or gravelly soil is ideal.
    • Watering: Once established, 'Vera' lavender is quite drought-tolerant. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, especially during the winter months.
    • Fertilizing: Generally does not require rich soil or heavy fertilization. In fact, overly fertile soil can reduce the intensity of its fragrance and lead to leggy growth. A light application of compost in the spring is usually sufficient. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers. Some recommend a yearly application of dolomite lime.
    • Spacing: Space plants 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) apart to allow for good air circulation, which helps prevent fungal diseases. For hedges, space plants about 18 inches apart.
    • Pruning: Prune annually after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage more blooms in the following year. Cut back the flower stalks and about one-third of the plant's foliage, being careful not to cut into the old wood.
    • Propagation: Can be propagated by seeds (though germination can be slow and sometimes erratic, often benefiting from a period of cold stratification), cuttings (semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer are usually successful), or layering.
  • Uses: 'Vera' lavender is highly versatile:
    • Aromatherapy: Its essential oil is prized for its calming and relaxing properties.
    • Culinary: The flowers and leaves can be used sparingly to add a floral note to baked goods, beverages, and savory dishes.
    • Crafts: Excellent for drying and using in potpourri, sachets, wreaths, and other crafts due to its strong, long-lasting fragrance and beautiful flower spikes.
    • Ornamental: Its silvery foliage and purple flowers make it an attractive addition to herb gardens, borders, rock gardens, and containers. It's also effective as an edging plant.
    • Attracting Pollinators: The flowers are highly attractive to bees and butterflies.
    • Cut Flowers: The flower spikes are excellent for fresh and dried flower arrangements. Harvest for drying when just a few buds have opened for the best color and fragrance retention.
    • Medicinal: Traditionally used for its antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and sleep-aid properties. (Consult a healthcare professional for medicinal use).
    • Pest Repellent: Lavender is known to repel some insects, such as moths and mosquitoes. It is also considered deer and rabbit resistant.
  • Wildlife Value: Highly attractive to bees and butterflies, contributing to pollinator gardens. It is also deer and rabbit resistant.
  • Ornamental Value: The silvery-gray foliage provides year-round interest, and the abundant purple flowers create a beautiful display in summer. Its compact and tidy growth habit makes it a desirable garden plant.
  • Potential Issues: Susceptible to root rot in poorly drained, overly wet soils. Good air circulation is important to prevent fungal diseases. Over-fertilizing can lead to weak, leggy growth and reduced fragrance.

Good Product
Size: 3 Panel-102'', Color: Beige
I got these dividers for outdoor use for some privacy from neighbors. They arrived quickly and were easy to set up. They look good, and though the legs don’t offer stability against any amount of wind—which I expected as it wasn’t advertised for outdoor use—all it took was placing a cinder block on the feet to hold it up right. Coverage is good, it’s easy to fold and move as needed, and it’s light weight. All in all a decent product. I will caution the purchase of “used like-new,” as both of the dividers I ordered were previously returned items, and one came missing a cap, instructions were not included, and the poles were all mixed up and not properly labeled. If I had not ordered a second divider (which did include the instructions) I would have had a much harder time figuring out which pieces were which and how to put them together.

So versatile! Perfect solution for dividing a room.
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Grey, Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Grey
Perfect solution for my space. My office has to double as the hangout room for the kids and I wanted something that would block off my computer so it is left alone. This space allows me to close off my computer as much or as little as I want. It is lightweight yet has sturdy feet. This is important so that if it gets bumped it won’t topple over. The price was great and the build time wasn’t too bad! I would recommend two people for set up. I went with the grey panels and I think I’ll end up hanging some twinkle lights at some point. Great purchase!

4/5 Stars
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Black
Very tall and easy to set up, the only thing I will say is that they do have large gaps in between, so you won't have 100% privacy unless you add a curtain in the back. Other than that, they are easy to fold, sturdy, and esy to assemble. The gaps are an easy fix so I would say they are worth it.

Great product and worth the money.
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Black
Portable and stable. Perfect size and gives me the privacy I need when working from home. Stability is great as long as you place the stands correctly it won't wobble. I love it.
