So popular in Victorian England, Lavender really does make a wonderful low boundary hedge. It can easily be kept pruned 'neat and tidy' (squared off) or for maximum flower left to form a more informal mound shape of hedge. In the alternative plant in groups of three around the garden for scent and colour. From our experience Lavender is 100% rabbit proof (however may need protection until it is established) making it ideal for those troubled by them - but similarly attracts a wealth of pollinating insects and bees - and of course lavender honey has a wonderful flavour
