French lavender — with short spikes topped by purple, butterfly-like bracts. Flowers early and profusely, but will not survive a Romanian winter outdoors.
Botanical name: Lavandula stoechas
Position: Sun
Flowering: May–July
Height: 40–70 cm
Winter care: tolerates brief frosts to −5 °C, but roots are exposed in a pot — overwinter in a bright, cool place (5–10 °C)
Watering: let the compost dry halfway between waterings; it will not tolerate standing water. Never leave water in the saucer.
