Imperial Gem English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia 'Imperial Gem')
Imperial Gem English Lavender, Lavandula angustifolia 'Imperial Gem', is a compact English lavender prized for its deep purple flower spikes, tidy mounded habit, and strongly fragrant gray green foliage. Plants form a dense, rounded cushion that tucks neatly along paths, at the front of borders, and in containers, delivering classic lavender color and scent without taking much space. Short, full flower spikes rise just above the foliage in early to midsummer, drawing in pollinators and creating a rich ribbon of color that works as a subtle but effective focal point in sunny garden areas.
Distinctive Features
Imperial Gem English Lavender typically grows about 12 to 18 inches tall and 14 to 20 inches wide, forming a naturally compact dome that stays neat with light pruning. Flower spikes are shorter than some traditional varieties but densely packed with deep purple florets, giving a strong, saturated look when the plant is in bloom. Narrow, gray green leaves add fine texture and a soft, silvery cast that remains attractive well beyond the flowering season, so the plant continues to function as a foliage accent. The combination of rich flower color, strong fragrance, and a balanced, low profile habit makes this variety especially useful where you want full lavender impact on a smaller scale.
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; avoid heavy, wet ground and favor 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 given sharp drainage in winter.
- Size: Forms a compact mound about 12 to 18 inches tall and 14 to 20 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 Borders: Plant in a row along walks, drives, or bed edges to create a low, fragrant band of gray green foliage and deep purple bloom.
- 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 without overwhelming companions.
- Front of Border Accent: Ideal for the front of sunny beds where its neat shape and rich 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, grasses, and other sun loving perennials for classic cottage combinations, or pair with stone and gravel for a 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 problems.
- Pruning: Shear lightly after the main flush of bloom to remove spent spikes and keep a dense mound; avoid cutting back into old, woody stems that lack 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 the plant compact.
Why Choose Imperial Gem English Lavender?
- Rich Purple Flower Color: Deep, saturated blooms create a classic lavender look that stands out in borders and along paths.
- Compact, Tidy Habit: Naturally rounded form is easy to manage in small gardens, narrow borders, and containers.
- Aromatic Foliage: Fragrant gray green leaves add soothing scent and soft texture to paths, patios, and outdoor seating areas.
- 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 cutting gardens, or as a container feature wherever you want dependable lavender color, fragrance, and structure in a compact package.
With its compact habit, deep purple flower spikes, and fragrant gray green foliage, Imperial Gem English Lavender is an excellent choice for adding classic lavender style, scent, and a refined, low maintenance focal point to sunny borders, pathways, and containers.

The wood is great.
I used to use a typical padded wrist pad, but am a heavy sweater. Upon reading another review in regards to that matter I decided to take the plunge on this rest. I have been a user of the Model O mouse from Glorious for a while and liked it so I trusted the company's reputation for taking gamers' needs into consideration.
After using it for about a week and playing different types of games/working from home on it, I can say that although your sweat might pool during sweaty moments, it's easy to wipe off and doesn't seem to easily absorb into the wood.
The wood itself is of a nice quality, I like the oak over the onyx for a more "real wood" look. There was no difference in comfort for me, you'd think being used to a padded wrist this shift would be "hard" on me, but no, I haven't had any problems. It's ergonomics for typing are also good as I notice my WPM and consistency be higher on multiple tests.
All-in-all quite satisfied with the purchase, fits the aesthetic, feel, and ergonomics I was looking for.

Very well made, matches width of Keychron Q6 perfectly, great for bigger hands!
This is a nicely finished slab of wood that is an EXACT match for my Keychron Q6 in both width and height. Depthwise, this is 4", so if you got larger hands (as I do), this is a bit better than the silicone Keychron version which I believe is 3.5" or so in depth. The non-stick feet are a nice feature, and the profile is wonderful to type on. Only issue with the item I received is a small nick right below the Glorious emblem on the lower right of the wrist rest - may have been an errant tool mark. However, this doesn't detract in my own opinion, from the well-designed profile and features of this wrist rest and was easily covered with a furniture marking pen. I'm still giving this item 5-stars and getting another one for the office!

Glorious Wooden Palm Rest Durability and Stability in an Elegant Design
Color: Onyx, Size: Mouse Wrist Rest, Color: Onyx, Size: Mouse Wrist Rest
After years of using foam palm rests, I always encountered the same problem: they deformed over time, losing height, ergonomics and, consequently, their usefulness. This is especially critical when you spend between 3 and 8 hours a day at the PC for work, study or gaming, since a bad posture can increase the risk of suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome.
This is where Glorious' wooden palm rests come in, a solution that eliminates deformations and offers an ideal height for both the mouse version and the TKL (Tenkeyless) version.
Positive points
• Solid and durable construction: Unlike foam, wood maintains its shape and provides stable support over time.
• Elegant and minimalist design: Its finish gives a premium touch to any setup.
• Effective non-slip base: The bottom rubbers prevent unwanted movements, providing total stability.
• Easy maintenance: Although wood is slightly porous and can retain natural oils or residue from creams and perfumes, cleaning it is easy.
Areas for improvement
• Less softness than foam: Although still comfortable, wood sacrifices some of the cushioned feel that some prefer. A redesign with a foam strip on top could improve this.
• Inconsistent finish between versions: I bought the mouse rest and the TKL at the same time, but noticed that the color tones were different (one blacker than the other). It doesn't affect functionality, but it does affect aesthetics.
If you're looking for durability, stability, and a sophisticated design, this is a highly recommended palm rest, especially if you find it on sale. Although it's not as soft as the foam ones, it does its job of providing ergonomic support exceptionally well. An excellent complement for those who spend long hours at the PC and are looking for a sturdier alternative to traditional palm rests.

great mouse rest
Color: Golden Oak, Size: Mouse Wrist Rest
This works really well for for elevating your wrist, I use an apple trackpad it puts my wrist a little too high so what I did was put some rubber pads on the back of my trackpad to raise it up. It now gives the perfect height and good support I can even lean on it. It works well to the fact that it gives you very good support it's not uncomfortable and it's very easy to clean and looks very nice on my desk, because it's made out of real wood.

Great wrist rest. Smooth finish, good looks, and ideal wrist angle.
This wrist rest sets you up for pretty optimal, level height to prevent future wrist problems. I went with the nice reddish/brown color as it matches my brown wood Edifier speakers and other brown accessories very nicely. Nice matte finish that avoids showing finger prints and skin oils. The color is perfect, not too red or too brown.
Keep in mind if your keyboard is angled in the front it will leave a bit of a gap, however it is unnoticeable to me. Also, make sure your arm rests of your chair can come high enough to meet the half inch or so thick wrist rest. My arm rests are a bit low for the time being so some extra pressure is put on my arm behind the wrist when resting on the chair supports.
