Growing Tip:
Plant in a sunny spot with excellent drainage. Lavender performs best when roots are allowed to dry out between waterings, which helps prevent rot and supports healthy growth. 

 

Melissa is an English lavender valued for its soft, elegant coloring. Instead of the deep purples many people associate with lavender, it produces airy flower spikes in pale pink and creamy white tones. This gives the plant a light, calming presence that blends beautifully into cottage gardens, herb beds, and mixed borders.

Its fragrance and flavor are noticeably mild, which is exactly why Melissa is so popular for culinary use. In baking, teas, syrups, and herbal blends, it adds a delicate lavender note without overpowering other ingredients. If you’ve ever found traditional lavender too strong, this is often the variety that changes people’s minds. It allows you to enjoy lavender in the kitchen in a more balanced, approachable way.

Melissa grows into a naturally tidy, well-shaped plant, forming a compact, rounded shrub that requires very little maintenance to keep looking good. Because of this neat habit, it works especially well in borders, raised beds, herb gardens, and containers, where space and appearance both matter.

For best results, plant Melissa in full sun and well-drained soil. Like most English lavenders, it dislikes sitting in wet or heavy soil, especially in winter. Good drainage helps prevent root problems and helps the plant stay healthy and productive over time. When given plenty of sunlight and dry feet, Melissa will reward you with reliable blooms, strong growth, and high-quality harvests for both garden beauty and kitchen use.

good spray, but strong alcohol smell
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I like Alba Botanica, but 3.5 starts since: - the spray goes way too fast (that can be true for all continuous sprays). I used it 4 - 5 times and it seems I have very little left. - lots of waste when spraying... probably is best to spray your palm and then massage it on your body - once it's sprayed it smells like alcohol, alot!!! Other brands I tried don't seem to smell so much of alcohol. - My kid developed strange rash once it was applied, not red dots, but white bumps all over the arms and legs, cannot say its from this spray, but I'm a bit suspicious. The good party it's it is not sticky or greasy. Smells good (after alcohol evaporates). I used it a couple of times, applied once only and stay several hours under the sun and I was fine, no sunburn.

Alba packaging stinks
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Complete waste of money! I ended up tossing it out because it’s IMPOSSIBLE to use. You should be able to twist the top to lock/unlock and spray it. NOPE. The top just spins and doesn’t catch or you cannot twist it at all. It’s also virtually impossible to spray. I had to hold it against my torso and press with both thumbs to get it to spray. Meanwhile, it’s leaking, the bottle is getting slippery. And then the spray goes EVERYWHERE, it’s not a narrow spray but it’s as if you’re dusting crops. I tried to see if it needed a certain pressure point, two fingers, bloody hell it’s not a Magic Mouse you should be able to unlock and spray it with one hand. Anyway, Alba needs to do some QC on their packaging. The last pump lotion I got, the pump also did not work. It just spun and spun and could not be unlocked. I had to wash and reuse the pump from an old bottle.
