In the moon light most colors vanish Blues appear white and white and silver seem to shimmer. Moonlight gardens contain these colors. You can ad stones and other garden features in these colors for a greater effect.
Lavender is a great plant for a moonlight garden and one of my very favorite herbs. It was the first one I ever planted. I bought five plants by mail order and stuck them in the ground. I never really did a thing with them afterwards and they grew and bloomed every year. I brought in fr est handfuls to put in vases and dried them in our back yard shed hanging from the rafters. I have always used just a good hardy English lavender, but this year I am going to try a French.
These plants love the sun and love to be cut. The more you cut the more flowers you get. I am a heavy pruner and these plants thrive with it. I am definitely going to try cooking with it this year,(never have before) Ive found recipes for jam vinegar and cake. Old wives say that the flower in a tea will cure headaches,? and if you add it to bath water it will calm irritable children. (always good to know. It is also supposed to help with insomnia and depression. Talk about a wonder plant wow!
