Is French Lavender an annual or a Perennial?

Question

I'm confused! Please someone just tell me! I've read gardening books and searched online and I can't find ANYTHING! (I know, hard to believe) Also if you know if German Chamomile is annual or perennial that would be great to know also.

Thanks!

Answer 1

French Lavender is referred to as a bush in my garden book, so I would expect it to bloom year after year like a perennial.

German Chamomile is an annual.

Answer 2

All  of  the  lavender  I  planted  in  06  has  tripled  in  size  each  year  since .

It   seems  to  be  like  the  rosemary ,  an  evergreen  that  is  somewhat  dormant  in  the  winter  and  grows  aggressively  in  the  hot  season .

And   the  fragrance  is  wonderful  !

Answer 3

Depends on your Zone.  I live in Zone 5 and planted three varieties of lavender last year.  Only one of the three came back.  If you are Zone 6 or greater, you're probably fine for them coming back year to year.  In Zone 5, check the individual variety of lavender for the zone.

I think it is a perennial in warmer areas.  it doesn't come back here in Minnesota.  At least not in my garden.
