3. Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)

Lavender is a classic high sun plant that combines elegance with fragrance. Its silvery foliage and violet flowers add a soothing touch to sunny patios, pathways, and borders. Beyond its beauty, lavender attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies, enhancing your garden’s ecosystem. Pairing lavender with neutral-toned planters or gravel creates a serene, luxurious vibe.
