The big lavender in the front triangle garden is looking the best it ever has. It gets irrigation, we've had early monsoon rain, and nights have been cool all spring and early summer. Good conditions for it.
It is swamped on one side by the rangy hesperaloe and overshadowed by the pine on the other side, but it does well enough. It was here when we moved in, I don't know what variety it is.
I trim off the dead flower spikes in winter, and try to clean out the middle where it's gotten woody and bare and leaves collect, but that doesn't really work. Still, it's nice.
