Features

notes
Lavender x intermedia Edelweiss is a small lavender with aromatic silvery leaves, which sit below the spikes of white flowers. These flowers attract bees and other pollinators and can be used, alongside its leaves, to flavour biscuits, stews and soups. Flowers are best collected when just coming into bloom for sachets and pot pourri.
