Lavender looks so vigorous. Mine is looking a bit worse for wear, only one flowerstalk ๐
Bees love it, but be careful with Lavender! I keeps smelling nice and attracting bees and bumblebees even after there is no nectar/pollen left, so they sometimes die of exhaustion looking for it. I have a lot of lavender in my garden and always make sure to cut it when i see the first dead bumblebee. Just learned that recently though and I'm not sure if it's like that with all types of lavender and maybe it's just a problem where I live because lavender isn't native here.
