Munstead English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia 'Munstead')
Munstead English Lavender, Lavandula angustifolia 'Munstead', is a compact, sun loving lavender cherished for its soft purple blue flower spikes, fragrant gray green foliage, and reliable performance in well drained gardens. Plants form neat, rounded mounds that tuck easily along paths, at the front of borders, and in containers, bringing classic cottage garden charm and soothing scent into smaller spaces. Early season blooms rise above the foliage in late spring to early summer, drawing in pollinators and creating a gentle yet clear focal point wherever you want a low, refined accent in full sun.
Distinctive Features
Munstead English Lavender typically grows about 12 to 18 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide, forming a dense, shrub like clump with woody bases and soft, leafy shoots toward the tips. Slender flower spikes carry many small purple blue florets that read as a soft band of color when the plant is in bloom, while narrow gray green leaves provide fine texture and a silvery cast that looks attractive even between flushes of flowers. The combination of modest height, classic flower color, and strong fragrance makes Munstead a long time favorite for edging, low hedging, and high visibility plantings around patios and entries.
Growing Conditions
- Light: Prefers full sun with at least 6 hours of direct light daily for best flowering, compact growth, and strong fragrance.
- Soil: Thrives in well drained, lean to average soils; avoids heavy, wet ground and performs best in sandy or gravelly conditions that keep roots on the dry side.
- Water: Water regularly after planting to establish; once rooted in, water deeply but infrequently, allowing the top of the soil to dry between waterings.
- Hardiness: Well suited to many temperate regions where English lavender is grown outdoors, especially when provided with sharp drainage in winter.
- Size: Generally forms a mound about 12 to 18 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide at maturity, depending on climate and care.
- Growth Rate: Moderate grower that fills in steadily without quickly outgrowing beds, borders, or containers.
Ideal Uses
- Edging and Low Hedges: Plant in a row along walks, drives, or bed edges to create a low, fragrant ribbon of gray green foliage and purple blooms.
- Containers and Patio Pots: Excellent in clay pots, troughs, and mixed planters where the compact mound and upright flower spikes add height, scent, and color.
- Front of Border Accent: Ideal for the front of sunny borders where its neat habit and soft flowers form a dependable visual anchor.
- Herb and Scent Gardens: Perfect near seating areas, entries, and paths so aromatic foliage and blooms can be brushed and enjoyed up close.
- Cottage and Mediterranean Gardens: Mix with roses, salvias, and other sun loving perennials for classic cottage combinations, or pair with stone and gravel for a simple, Mediterranean feel.
Low Maintenance Care
- Watering: After establishment, water when the top inch of soil is dry; avoid constant moisture or soggy conditions that can lead to root and crown problems.
- Pruning: Shear lightly after the main flush of bloom to remove spent spikes and maintain a dense mound; avoid cutting back into old woody stems that have no leaves.
- Fertilizing: Requires only light feeding; in spring, apply a small amount of balanced, slow release fertilizer if soil is very lean, since excessive nutrients can cause soft, floppy growth.
- Mulching: Use a thin layer of gravel or coarse mulch around the base to improve drainage and keep foliage off wet soil, avoiding heavy organic mulches against the stems.
- Seasonal Care: In colder climates, provide excellent drainage and a sunny, sheltered spot; in late winter or early spring, tidy lightly to remove any winter damage and keep plants compact.
Why Choose Munstead English Lavender?
- Classic Cottage Favorite: Soft purple blue blooms and silvery foliage bring traditional lavender charm to paths, borders, and containers.
- Compact, Tidy Habit: Naturally rounded form is easy to manage in small gardens, narrow beds, and patio plantings.
- Aromatic Foliage: Fragrant gray green leaves add soothing scent and soft texture to outdoor living areas and can be used for simple cut and dried projects.
- Sun and Heat Tolerant: Performs well in hot, bright exposures when planted in well drained soil or raised beds.
- Versatile Design Use: Works as edging, in mixed borders, in herb and scent gardens, or as a container feature wherever you want dependable lavender color, fragrance, and a refined focal point in full sun.
With its compact habit, soft purple blue flower spikes, and fragrant gray green foliage, Munstead English Lavender is an excellent choice for adding classic lavender beauty, scent, and a low maintenance focal point to sunny borders, pathways, and containers.

Good but more academic
Format: Hardcover
I love Brant Pitre, especially his books Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist and Jesus the Bridegroom. I would say those books should be required reading for anyone who is catechist or is involved in RCIA as Catholics. This book is good, however it is primarily an academic work where Dr. Pitre takes on the Historical Jesus movement and Dr. Bart Ehrman in particular. In this book he goes on to show that the gospels were written within a few decades of Jesus death by the disciples that have given their names to the gospels. He uses his knowledge of Jewish faith and culture to show that Jesus really does claim to be God in all the gospels, not just the Gospel of John. It is a good book but not one that I would find useful on a regular basis.

BEST BOOK IN 20 YEARS
Format: Hardcover
BEST BOOK that I have read in 20 years. This should be required reading in Christian schools. Every Christian who has graduated from high school should read this book. As one who has studied Church History, Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek myself, I had become very disappointed in what passes as scholarship, even among Ivy Leage graduates, in the 21st century. HOWEVER, Dr. Pitre's book is a great encouragement that there really are people "out-there" that display genuine scholarship. With Appreciation, Russ Hills, Ph.D.

A Case for Jesus' Divine Self-Conception
Format: Kindle
This is a very meticulously reasoned argument attempting to show that Jesus had a Divine self-conception. That is, Jesus believed, and claimed, that he was God.
Pitre begins by posing C.S. Lewis’ famous “trilemma” to the reader. If Jesus claimed to be God, we have three ways to respond – he was either a Liar, Lunatic, or Lord. Pitre’s work in this book strives to bring us back, face to face, with this trilemma. To accomplish this, Pitre needs to defeat another popular notion in the modern mind – that Jesus, or at least much of the Gospel material about him, was a “Legend.” If Pitre can show that Jesus did, in fact, historically claim Divinity, we will be forced to respond to his claim and answer Jesus’ own question for ourselves – “Who do you say that I am?”
To accomplish this Pitre first attempts to show that the Gospels are historically reliable. He believes that, contrary to modern scholarly opinion, the Gospels were indeed written by the authors they have been attributed to (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), that they were intended to portray historically accurate biographical pictures of Jesus, and that they were written much more closely to the time of Jesus than liberal scholars assume (Pitre tentatively dates the synoptic Gospels all before the destruction of the Temple in AD 70). These three pieces of evidence – authorship, intent, and dating – all lead Pitre to the conclusion that the Gospels give us historically accurate information about Jesus.
After setting the stage by arguing for the accuracy of our sources, Pitre delves into the synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) and tries to show that although it is not always explicit (i.e. Jesus doesn’t say “I am God, worship Me.”) even the synoptics portray Jesus as claiming Divinity. Using evidence such as Jesus’ use of the titles “Son of Man” and “I Am,” prophesy from the book of Daniel, Jesus’ “stilling of the storm,” the transfiguration, the pronouncement of the forgiveness of the parlytic’s sins, the riddle about the Son of David being David’s “Lord,”, the crucifixion, and the resurrection, Pitre makes his case. In the end, he believes that not only do the Gospel authors portray Jesus as Divine, but that these claims came from Jesus himself.
Thus we are led, full circle, back to the trilemma. We can call Jesus Liar, Lunatic, or Lord, but not, according to Pitre, a Legend.
This was a really interesting read from a conservative scholar. His exegesis of many Gospel passages illuminate how the Hebrew Scriptures provide a much needed backdrop for understanding each story. The Gospels are much more nuanced than we might first think and oftentimes one saying or image may evoke whole passages or concepts from the Old Testament that would have been apparent to early Jewish readers. As Pitre argues, understanding the Jewish context of the synoptic authors helps in understanding their Christology.
In the end, I agree with Pitre that the Gospels are generally more historically accurate than “mainstream” scholars give them credit for. I think it’s plausible that the Gospel titles reveal their true authors and that they were written fairly early after Jesus’ death (before the fall of Jerusalem). I also agree that the Synoptics may implicitly ascribe Divinity to Jesus – although I don’t think that is an open and shut case. If there were more explicit cases in the synoptic Gospels where Jesus claimed Divinity, it would help his case. It still seems to me the only explicit sayings we have come from the Gospel of John, which even Pitre doesn’t seem to argue is historically reliable (at least he doesn’t focus on this in the book).
It’s probably outside the scope of this book, but I would have loved to see Pitre address the idea of Jesus as Apocalyptic Prophet. He interacts with several scholars who accept this notion (EP Sanders, Dale Allison, Bart Ehrman, John Meier) and it’s a viable option in the world of Historical Jesus scholarship. I think it’s a relevant topic in all discussions surrounding a Historical Jesus and can be a large factor in how one answers the question of Jesus’ identity.
This study is worth reading regardless of your theological persuasion, and Pitre’s arguments deserve serious consideration.

Relief for dry mouth without gum irritation
Big improvement for users with sensitive gums. These relieve dry mouth during the night almost as well as the regular tabs. Some complained about a residual gel left on the gums. 🙄Just wipe it off. It’s a small thing.
