Growing Lavender Indoors

Of all the different kinds of lavender out there, English Lavender (Lavandula Angustifolia) is one of the hardiest choices. It’s also the most commonly planted.

The plant can be purchased as a seed or as a young plant in a nursery or gardening center under the name of L. Officinalis or L. vera.

Here are a few varieties of English Lavender to consider (1,2,3,4):

Munstead: This variety is rather compact, making ideal for indoor growing. It has a high heat tolerance, with some hybrid varieties also resistant to the cold. Its foliage is bright green with bluish flowers.

Hidcote: This smallish variety is a little taller and wider than Munstead, but its leaves are grayer and its flowers have a lovely deep purple color. Hidcote is one of the most aromatic varieties of lavender, easily filling an entire room with its lovely scent.

Imperial Gem: This type has bright silver leaves and stout purple flowers, making it ideal as a centerpiece on a table or as a bouquet.

Twickel Purple: This variety has a strong, bright scent, long purple flowers, and gray/ green foliage. It’s a great option if you’re looking for a plant with a little height.

Mini Blue: This is one of the smallest, making it great for small rectangular flower pots. It also yields many flowers, so it’s perfect for brightening up your space and filling it with life.
