The gray-green foliage has a rounded shape.rFeature the Primavera Spanish Lavender in a bed or border, or create a meadow-inspired mass planting. Plant it near the front of a bed so the flowers can be admired, and trim the flowers to display in arrangements. The Primavera Spanish Lavender also makes a lovely container plant, allowing for placement on decks and porches. The flowers attract butterflies and hummingbirds, making this plant a welcome addition to a butterfly garden. Deer and rabbits do not favor the plant for added convenience.rPrimavera Spanish Lavender CarerPrimavera Spanish Lavender needs full sun and moist soil that is well-drained and has an acidic to neutral pH.
