Spring perennial garden
Lavender and candytuft add their fragrance to this sweet-smelling planting. Even though this bed is prettiest in spring when the gas plant is at its peak, lavender will bloom sporadically through fall and its foliage is always fragrant, so you can count on a pleasing scent. Click ahead to meet the plants that make up this pretty combination!
