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.

DURABLE
Size: 2.8in for Small & Medium Dogs
My dog loves these balls almost as much as she loves tennis balls, which she tears up within a day. These two balls have lasted over a week with no signs of wear. I was unsure when I ordered them but they do bounce, not quite like a tennis ball but enough to keep my dog's attention. When using toothpaste in these balls I had to put it deep into the openings or she just licks it off of the surface and when its that deep, it doesn't squeeze out like I think it should. It just stays in the crevasses and gets old and hard. As a ball it's great, as a toothpaste delivery system it's not so great.

Perfect For Sophia!
Size: 1.8in for Puppy Dogs, Size: 1.8in for Puppy Dogs
These little balls are the perfect size for Sophia who is a 7 lb Yorkie with a teeny tiny mouth. The slots in the balls make them very easy for her little teeth to grab hold of and carry. The quality of the rubber is excellent, strong and durable. They're holding up great so far! She loves them and so does her Mama! 5 stars!

Horrible, don't buy
Size: 1.8in for Puppy Dogs
I wanted to love these. They had so much potential. It's a good size. It seems like a good shape. But ... 1) first red flag should have been the packaging. It looked like it was a dollar store item that had beenblost on the shelves for years. 2) the rubber is super flexible. I was expecting it to be sturdier. I can flatten the ball without lich force. Maybe that doesn't matter. Naybe flexible is good. But I never got a chance to test out it's durability against a pup because... 3) it smelled. I expected it to smell like rubber, like most rubber toys. Rubber smell is okay. Usually rubber smell goes away. But, this was NOT a rubber smell. It smells like peppermint or something similar. It's like someone sprayed essential oils when mixing the rubber and now the smell will not leave. I soaked it in dawn soap half the day and overnight. I rubbed. I scrubbed. The smell actually gets worst the more you scrub it!!! It's like a scented marker or scented eraser, but you do NOT want the scent in a dog toy! My dog cannot smell the food in it because the smell of the weird mint-like scent is so overpowering. He saw it had food, and wanted it, but every time he started sniffing wildly, he would recoil. Whoever thought it was a good idea to scent this was WRONG. Mint in the form of an essential oil is extremely poisonous to dogs!! So, why they would put a mint-loke scent ijto the dog's rubber treat toy is beyond me. I would return this if I hadn't throw out the package immediately. I considered pulling the package out of the trash once i realized the scent issue but other trash had already been dumped into the trash can over it and i didn't want to dig through trash. The ball is still soaking in soap. I scrubbed again this morning. I let obe dry out. No luck. It actually seems to get worst the more you scrub, like it really is embedded in the rubber itself. Yuck!!!

Heavy Chewer Approved!
If you have a heavy chewer, this toy is perfect! We have gone through so many toys with our German Shepherd mix that we started to just tell ourselves every two weeks we’d have to be spending $50 on toys. We actually got this as a gift and wow! It’s absolutely blown us away. Not only is it incredibly durable, but our dog absolutely loves it. It’s so easy to stuff treats in there and it keeps him occupied sometimes for close to an hour which, if you have an active dog, you know anything over 20 minutes is a bargain! It is certainly well worth the money, very chew resistant, and basically silent. The loudest thing you might hear is your dog licking or tossing it around in an attempt to get the treats out. I highly recommend stuffing it with a soft chewy cookie because the crunchy ones are just gonna leave crumbs everywhere. I also recommend washing it every other week just to keep buildup from happening deep within the grooves. Note: if you can’t find it, I guarantee you it has rolled under your couch. We ended up buying a second one because we searched high and low for our missing pickle pocket. Naturally, as soon as the second one arrived, the first one was found leisurely lounging just out of reach in the dark depths of our couch’s underbelly.
