These gorgeous plants are also favorites of the bees and butterflies. When most people think of lavender they envision fields of Provence. Even though we’re in South Texas and not France, these truly beautiful plants are spectacular bloomers. Heads are turned, and vehicles often stop to admire their purple sheen from the road in front of the farm. The long, vibrantly green stems and delicate blooms make these a favorite U-pick choice. We have dried lavender bunches from last season that still have a wonderful scent!
