Melissa lavender (Lavandula angustifolia 'Melissa') is a cherished English lavender cultivar known for its delicate beauty and versatility. It features soft pink to pale lavender flowers that bloom on upright spikes, creating a gentle contrast against its silvery-green foliage. This variety is particularly valued for its sweet, fragrant aroma, making it an excellent choice for culinary applications such as teas, baked goods, and herbal infusions. Melissa lavender thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, reaching a compact height of approximately 18 to 24 inches, which makes it suitable for borders, containers, and herb gardens. Its blooms are also attractive to pollinators, adding ecological value to its ornamental appeal.
