Top Tip
Prune Lavandula annually after flowering to keep it healthy and compact. Use sharp shears to trim back around a third of the plant, ensuring you do not cut into old wood as this may not regenerate. This routine encourages fresh growth and abundant blooms the following season. A light trim in early spring can also help shape the plant before new growth begins. Proper pruning ensures your Lavandula remains an attractive feature in your garden year after year.
How to Water
Water Lavandula deeply immediately after planting and regularly during its first growing season to establish a strong root system. Once established, these drought-tolerant plants require minimal watering and prefer slightly dry conditions. During prolonged dry spells, water deeply at the base of the plant once every two weeks to prevent stress. Avoid overwatering or allowing water to pool around the roots, as this can cause root rot. Morning watering is recommended to reduce evaporation and keep the foliage dry.
How to Plant
To plant Lavandula, choose a sunny spot with well-draining, alkaline to neutral soil. Prepare the soil by mixing in grit or sand to improve drainage if necessary. Dig a hole twice the width and the same depth as the root ball. Gently remove the plant from its pot and position it so that the base of the stem is level with the soil surface. Backfill with soil, firming gently around the roots, and water thoroughly. Space plants about 30–45 cm apart to allow air circulation and prevent overcrowding. Adding a layer of mulch, such as gravel, can help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
