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.

Must have on kitchen
Size: 2 kg - Mini Size
It's exactly as described. Works great so far! I bought to make matcha 🍵 when measuring is quite important for the recipe, but also used for other measurements like yeast salt etc. Really great to have silicone mat for hot products, or just hot water that I use for matcha.

Terrible, bizarre customer service. Don't bother with Tipre! Waste of money.
Size: 2 kg - Mini Size
Glad that some had 5-star experiences but that was DEFINITELY NOT my case. Shorty after the return window the tare become unstable in spite of a fully-charged battery. Tipre requested a video to prove my claims, then requested a SECOND VIDEO, and offered a replacement only if I were to PURCHASE A SECOND SCALE and they would reimburse me. DO I HAVE STUPID WRITTEN ON MY FOREHEAD???? I can throw this scale in the trash and be only $20 in the hole, why risk ANOTHER $20??? Lots of options on Amazon. BUY A DIFFERENT ONE!!

Great Scale for fine measurements, best I could hope for so give it a go!
I'm using this as an ordinary kitchen scale not as a pour over coffee scale with timer so my review will reflect my usage. I bought because it measures to 0.1grams which is 10 times finer resolution than most kitchen scales like my beloved OXO that died after many years. I don't usually need that fine a resolution but I do need to know to the exact gram so by seeing tenths of a gram I can see exactly how close I am to that 1 gram diference. For example less exact scales aren't sensitive to tiny changes in weight so if you make several tiny additions to get a scale to register 1 more gram it isn't sensitive enough to register those tiny change so to see if you finally added enough flour to get to say 30 grams. With ordinary scakes you have to remove the item from the scale & reweigh the whole thing because a lesser scale just doesn't register tiny incremental additions or subsubtractions. That makes this scale actually accurate to the tiny amounts you add or subtract to get an exact weight in whole grams so its ten times better in my book for less money than my previous scale. The display is very stable, meaning a weight doesn't jump up & down a few times before it settles on the true weight which is exactly how scales should work and its fast. I think the trade off for this increased accuracy is that its upper weight limit is less than the OXO & others but when making 1, 2, or 3 cakes or loaves you need to weigh small addition like salt and spices. If you need to weigh big slabs of meat this scales doesn't weigh heavy enough for that so compare how you will use the scale to it's listed specs when choosing. So far its been very consistent, stable & fast. Also the tare waorks well & quickly plus the auto shut off feature gives you enough time to handle distractions like checking the recipe or openibg a new bag of flour so that function also balances need with the econy of saving batteries. Others have shut off too soon making me totally nuts so keep this little feature in mind.The only minor quibble I have is that it has an orange display which is my least favorite color but its bright & clear to read so no real argument from me & if it holds up over time I will be a very happy woman, but so far so good! I have used it multiple times daily for a couple months now to maintain my Sourdough starter & make bread and it's perfect for that and it has gotten a workout before I wrote this review. I hope it helps you chose as there are so many scales to choose from its difficult to hit all the right buttons but this scale has done that nicely! Happy baking!
