Lavender

Lavender's Mediterranean origins make it a natural fit for the Growing Dome, especially in cold-climate regions where outdoor lavender struggles to overwinter. The dome lets you grow English, French, Spanish, and lavandin varieties year-round, opening up culinary lavender, fragrant blooms, and dried bundles regardless of climate.
