Consider Lavender As A Grass Alternative For Your Backyard. Here’s Why
By Kourtney Borman
Lavender, especially the English variety, is more than just a pretty face. It has a bushy growth reaching heights from 1 to 3 feet and gorgeous violet-blue blossoms.
Besides lending a gorgeous look to your yard, lavender is a great substitute for grass in several other ways. It’s low-maintenance and useful in everything from soaps to meals.
Lavender is an easy-to-grow plant that appreciates the sunny side of life and doesn't fuss over soil quality, thriving in a range of conditions from poor to moderately fertile.
Before making the switch, start small with a section and gradually expand your lavender garden. You'll be enjoying the many benefits — and the sweet aroma — before you know it.
