Lavender 'Vera' (Lavandula angustifolia 'Vera')

Key Characteristics

  • Origin: 'Vera' lavender, botanically known as *Lavandula angustifolia* 'Vera', is considered an heirloom or "true" English lavender. It is thought to be one of the original species lavenders and has been cultivated for a long time, possibly for centuries. Its origins are in the Mediterranean region.
  • Patent Status: As an older, well-established cultivar of *Lavandula angustifolia*, 'Vera' lavender is not patented. It can be freely propagated and sold.
  • Flower Production: 'Vera' is highly prized for its intensely fragrant, slender spikes of lavender-blue flowers. The flowers are particularly rich in essential oils, making it a favorite for aromatherapy, potpourri, and culinary uses. It typically blooms in mid-summer, with the potential for a second, smaller flush of blooms later in the season if deadheaded.
  • Plant Size and Appearance: 'Vera' is a compact, bushy evergreen shrub that typically grows to a height of 1.5-2 feet (45-60 cm) and a spread of 2-2.5 feet (60-75 cm). It has narrow, silvery-gray to gray-green leaves that are also highly aromatic.
  • Flowering Time: 'Vera' typically blooms in mid-summer. It may produce a second, smaller bloom later in the season if the spent flowers are removed (deadheading).
  • Hardiness: 'Vera' is known for its excellent cold hardiness among English lavenders, generally hardy in USDA Zones 5 through 10 (some sources specify 4-9 or 5-9). It is a perennial in these zones, retaining its foliage through mild winters.
  • Pollination: The flowers are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, making it a valuable plant for pollinator gardens.
  • Growing Conditions:
    • Sunlight: Requires full sun (at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily) for optimal growth, abundant flowering, and the strongest fragrance.
    • Soil: Thrives in well-drained, even poor, soil. It prefers slightly alkaline to neutral soil (pH 6.7-7.3). Good drainage is crucial, especially in winter, as lavender is susceptible to root rot in overly moist conditions. Sandy or gravelly soil is ideal.
    • Watering: Once established, 'Vera' lavender is quite drought-tolerant. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, especially during the winter months.
    • Fertilizing: Generally does not require rich soil or heavy fertilization. In fact, overly fertile soil can reduce the intensity of its fragrance and lead to leggy growth. A light application of compost in the spring is usually sufficient. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers. Some recommend a yearly application of dolomite lime.
    • Spacing: Space plants 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) apart to allow for good air circulation, which helps prevent fungal diseases. For hedges, space plants about 18 inches apart.
    • Pruning: Prune annually after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage more blooms in the following year. Cut back the flower stalks and about one-third of the plant's foliage, being careful not to cut into the old wood.
    • Propagation: Can be propagated by seeds (though germination can be slow and sometimes erratic, often benefiting from a period of cold stratification), cuttings (semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer are usually successful), or layering.
  • Uses: 'Vera' lavender is highly versatile:
    • Aromatherapy: Its essential oil is prized for its calming and relaxing properties.
    • Culinary: The flowers and leaves can be used sparingly to add a floral note to baked goods, beverages, and savory dishes.
    • Crafts: Excellent for drying and using in potpourri, sachets, wreaths, and other crafts due to its strong, long-lasting fragrance and beautiful flower spikes.
    • Ornamental: Its silvery foliage and purple flowers make it an attractive addition to herb gardens, borders, rock gardens, and containers. It's also effective as an edging plant.
    • Attracting Pollinators: The flowers are highly attractive to bees and butterflies.
    • Cut Flowers: The flower spikes are excellent for fresh and dried flower arrangements. Harvest for drying when just a few buds have opened for the best color and fragrance retention.
    • Medicinal: Traditionally used for its antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and sleep-aid properties. (Consult a healthcare professional for medicinal use).
    • Pest Repellent: Lavender is known to repel some insects, such as moths and mosquitoes. It is also considered deer and rabbit resistant.
  • Wildlife Value: Highly attractive to bees and butterflies, contributing to pollinator gardens. It is also deer and rabbit resistant.
  • Ornamental Value: The silvery-gray foliage provides year-round interest, and the abundant purple flowers create a beautiful display in summer. Its compact and tidy growth habit makes it a desirable garden plant.
  • Potential Issues: Susceptible to root rot in poorly drained, overly wet soils. Good air circulation is important to prevent fungal diseases. Over-fertilizing can lead to weak, leggy growth and reduced fragrance.

Excellent for price, you won't be sorry
If you are looking for a watch with a lot of features that doesn't cost a lot, this is your watch. I tear up watches fairly easily in my line of work and after I killed my Seiko I decided I would hunt out a cheap watch. There aren't a lot of watches at this price range that include a stopwatch, date (with day of the week), AND has a light that is bright enough to actually read the time in the dark. This one does. The watch not dainty; it is big and bulky, bigger than I thought it would be, but not unwieldy and not super heavy. Expect it to be big. This also helps with readability (My son can read the time on this watch from the other side of the couch). The band feels rugged, made of a pliable and soft- feeling rubber and has a two- pronged belt- like closure (think 'biker belt') that keeps it secure on the wrist. Additionally, the holes for the band goes the entire length of the band so it is adjustable for really small wrists up to about 9.25" circumference. Others have complained about how easily the face scratches, but I suspect they've failed to remove the protective coating on the lens. It's a protective film that you have to get your fingernail under to pull off. Once that's off, the lens is crystal clear and fairly tough. I've had mine for a week now and used it under some fairly harsh conditions and the lens is still clear and scratch-free. My only complaint seems petty for a watch at this price point, but the strap-end hold down 'belt'--- the loop that holds down the extra length of the strap when it's buckled--- moves easily and so in use it will occasionally come off and you have to retuck the end back into it. But seriously, this is really minor. If you need an inexpensive digital that's easy to read in both daylight and darkness, ya don't mind a large and bulky, rugged- looking watch, and don't want to spend an arm and a leg, get this one. You likely won't be sorry.

Nice heavy leather with a pebbled look - limited storage
Color: Brown (Bifold), Color: Brown (Bifold)
This is a pebbled leather wallet from Carhartt. I got the brown version and it is a sturdy thicker type of leather than my other wallets. It has a real leather smell and I like the stitching on it as well as the branded carhartt logo on the front lower corner. Things to be aware of that I wish were a bit better. The wallet is on the small side of the spectrum, the area where you keep paper money is just the one compartment, there is no divider like many wallets have. Also, the left inside of the wallet has the clear window where you usually put your photo-id . In this window it is actually a brown mesh rather than a clear plastic so if showing an id you will likely have to take it out each time instead of flashing it. Also, there is not an area behind the "pocket" for the license and the right side just has 3 credit card slots. These are not necessarily bad things but if you are used to carrying around a lot of cards this one may be a challenge. The quality and thickness of the leather give it a nice western look. I will use this wallet when I dont have to carry too much. If you carry a lot of cash this isn't the best but most these days just need a couple of credit cards and a license and this works well for that.

Compact and exactly as pictured! Great quality leather.
Color: Black (Bifold), Color: Black (Bifold)
I am very satisfied with this wallet; it is exactly as described in the listing and shown in the photos. Key Features: • ID Compartment: There is a dedicated section for your ID. It features a mesh cover rather than a fully transparent plastic window. Personally, I don't find this to be a problem because I usually take my ID out to show it anyway, rather than handing over my whole wallet. • Spacious for Bills: Even though it’s a compact bifold, there is plenty of room for bills to fit flat without folding them. There is even a bit of extra space left over. • Design & Size: It’s a very compact and neat wallet, perfect for those who prefer front-pocket options or don't want a bulky feel. Final Verdict: The "full grain patina" leather looks and feels great. If you are looking for a reliable, well-made, and compact wallet, this is a perfect choice.

Durable Leather Wallet with a Minimal Design
Color: Black (Bifold)
This is a nice, heavy-duty wallet that feels built to last. The leather quality is good right out of the box, though it’s a bit stiff at first. If you prefer a softer feel, applying some leather conditioner or Neatsfoot oil helps break it in nicely. The layout is simple and practical. Three card slots on one side, an ID holder on the other, and a full-length pocket for cash. It keeps things minimal, which is great if you don’t want a bulky wallet sticking out of your pocket. The only thing I wish it had is RFID protection, but aside from that, it’s a solid everyday wallet that does exactly what it’s supposed to do.

Rugged, Practical, and Built to Last
Color: Brown (Bifold)
I’ve been using this Carhartt full grain leather wallet for a while now, and it’s exactly what you’d expect from the brand—tough, reliable, and no-nonsense. The leather has a really nice feel right out of the box, and over time it’s developed a great patina that gives it that broken-in, worn-in look without feeling worn out. I work in a pretty hands-on environment, so my wallet takes a beating being in and out of pockets, around dust, dirt, and everything else—and this one holds up without any issues. The stitching is solid, and the leather doesn’t feel like it’s going to crack or fall apart like some cheaper wallets I’ve had in the past. I went with the bifold style, and it has plenty of room for cards, cash, and IDs without feeling bulky. It strikes a good balance between capacity and comfort in your pocket. Everything stays secure, and it doesn’t stretch out too quickly either. Overall, if you want a durable, good-looking wallet that actually gets better with age, this is a solid choice. Definitely feels like something you’ll have for years.
