Munstead English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia 'Munstead')

Munstead English Lavender, Lavandula angustifolia 'Munstead', is a compact, sun loving lavender cherished for its soft purple blue flower spikes, fragrant gray green foliage, and reliable performance in well drained gardens. Plants form neat, rounded mounds that tuck easily along paths, at the front of borders, and in containers, bringing classic cottage garden charm and soothing scent into smaller spaces. Early season blooms rise above the foliage in late spring to early summer, drawing in pollinators and creating a gentle yet clear focal point wherever you want a low, refined accent in full sun.

Distinctive Features

Munstead English Lavender typically grows about 12 to 18 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide, forming a dense, shrub like clump with woody bases and soft, leafy shoots toward the tips. Slender flower spikes carry many small purple blue florets that read as a soft band of color when the plant is in bloom, while narrow gray green leaves provide fine texture and a silvery cast that looks attractive even between flushes of flowers. The combination of modest height, classic flower color, and strong fragrance makes Munstead a long time favorite for edging, low hedging, and high visibility plantings around patios and entries.

Growing Conditions

  • Light: Prefers full sun with at least 6 hours of direct light daily for best flowering, compact growth, and strong fragrance.
  • Soil: Thrives in well drained, lean to average soils; avoids heavy, wet ground and performs best in sandy or gravelly conditions that keep roots on the dry side.
  • Water: Water regularly after planting to establish; once rooted in, water deeply but infrequently, allowing the top of the soil to dry between waterings.
  • Hardiness: Well suited to many temperate regions where English lavender is grown outdoors, especially when provided with sharp drainage in winter.
  • Size: Generally forms a mound about 12 to 18 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide at maturity, depending on climate and care.
  • Growth Rate: Moderate grower that fills in steadily without quickly outgrowing beds, borders, or containers.

Ideal Uses

  • Edging and Low Hedges: Plant in a row along walks, drives, or bed edges to create a low, fragrant ribbon of gray green foliage and purple blooms.
  • Containers and Patio Pots: Excellent in clay pots, troughs, and mixed planters where the compact mound and upright flower spikes add height, scent, and color.
  • Front of Border Accent: Ideal for the front of sunny borders where its neat habit and soft flowers form a dependable visual anchor.
  • Herb and Scent Gardens: Perfect near seating areas, entries, and paths so aromatic foliage and blooms can be brushed and enjoyed up close.
  • Cottage and Mediterranean Gardens: Mix with roses, salvias, and other sun loving perennials for classic cottage combinations, or pair with stone and gravel for a simple, Mediterranean feel.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Watering: After establishment, water when the top inch of soil is dry; avoid constant moisture or soggy conditions that can lead to root and crown problems.
  • Pruning: Shear lightly after the main flush of bloom to remove spent spikes and maintain a dense mound; avoid cutting back into old woody stems that have no leaves.
  • Fertilizing: Requires only light feeding; in spring, apply a small amount of balanced, slow release fertilizer if soil is very lean, since excessive nutrients can cause soft, floppy growth.
  • Mulching: Use a thin layer of gravel or coarse mulch around the base to improve drainage and keep foliage off wet soil, avoiding heavy organic mulches against the stems.
  • Seasonal Care: In colder climates, provide excellent drainage and a sunny, sheltered spot; in late winter or early spring, tidy lightly to remove any winter damage and keep plants compact.

Why Choose Munstead English Lavender?

  • Classic Cottage Favorite: Soft purple blue blooms and silvery foliage bring traditional lavender charm to paths, borders, and containers.
  • Compact, Tidy Habit: Naturally rounded form is easy to manage in small gardens, narrow beds, and patio plantings.
  • Aromatic Foliage: Fragrant gray green leaves add soothing scent and soft texture to outdoor living areas and can be used for simple cut and dried projects.
  • Sun and Heat Tolerant: Performs well in hot, bright exposures when planted in well drained soil or raised beds.
  • Versatile Design Use: Works as edging, in mixed borders, in herb and scent gardens, or as a container feature wherever you want dependable lavender color, fragrance, and a refined focal point in full sun.

With its compact habit, soft purple blue flower spikes, and fragrant gray green foliage, Munstead English Lavender is an excellent choice for adding classic lavender beauty, scent, and a low maintenance focal point to sunny borders, pathways, and containers.

Love this for my face!
Neutrogena SPF 100 sunblock lotion is the only sunscreen I trust and use on my face. It gives amazing protection without making my skin feel greasy or heavy. I’ve tried so many different sunscreens, and this one works the best for me. It absorbs nicely, doesn’t leave a bad white cast, and wears well under makeup too. A little goes a long way, and I love knowing my skin is protected, especially during summer or long days outside. Definitely a staple in my skincare routine!

Good sunscreen but be careful around your eyes
I’m trying to get better at using sunscreen more consistently, so I’ve been on the hunt for a while for the perfect formula (ideally SPF 100, not greasy, and would work well under makeup for when I’m both outdoors and wearing a full beat). I liked that this seemed to tick off all my boxes while also being affordable because if I’m going to use it frequently, I want to rest easy knowing that it won’t break the bank. I also vaguely remember using this sunscreen (or at least this brand) many years ago with no issues, so figured it’d be worth going back to. I normally use three thick finger lines of sunscreen for my face, neck, and ears, regardless of spf number, because if I’m going to go outside I’m not taking any risks. (Usually the rule of thumb is two fingers.) Also depending on what I’m doing and how long I plan on being outside, I try to also take the bottle with me so I can reapply. Anyway, I test it out, wear it, feels good. Takes a little while for it to feel relatively dry as advertised, but once it dries it’s tolerable. By the end of the day you might forget you still have it on your skin (aside from maybe the slight sunscreen smell, nothing terrible). Washed it off in the shower as usual. Most of my face still looks perfectly fine, but my undereyes are now red! (Or at least one of them, for some reason my right undereye is more sensitive than the left.) From what I’ve read online so far, it might be a sensitivity to avobenzone, one of the active ingredients. Very baffled with what to do because everyone says to use sunscreen around your eyes because of aging and sunburn, but does that mean I have to get used to my eyes turning red just to get that protection? I already wear pretty big sunglasses too, so it’s not like they’re completely exposed. Will have to experiment some more and/or look at alternatives.

Good, inexpensive sunscreen
I have always loved Neutrogena products especially their sunscreen. It used to be hard to get SPF over 30 and now they have it up to 100. I haven't burned using Neutrogena, haven't had any skin issues and it's pretty inexpensive. Would recommend.
