About Plant
Our mission is to provide you with the highest quality and largest selection of locally grown plants. Come on in and shop our large selection of herbs. Need help? Any one of our Farmer John’s staff can assist you to help make the right selection for your home.
Look for several, tender perennial, French/English hybrid varieties, ‘Provence’ and ‘Grosso’ that produce wonderfully soft, light green to silver, exceptionally aromatic foliage and classic periwinkle blue to lavender flower spikes in midsummer. Excellent source of French lavender oil. Lavender is best known for its sensuous, calming fragrance, but it also can be used in herbal teas, attracts butterflies, and repels rabbits, mice, ticks and mosquitoes. Flowers are edible and make excellent dried flowers.
