Planting and Care Guide

Planting Lavandula angustifolia White in your garden is a rewarding experience, offering a wealth of benefits with minimal care requirements. Follow this guide to ensure your lavender thrives and enhances your garden's beauty and fragrance.

Ideal Growing Conditions

• Sunlight: Full sun is essential for optimal growth and bloom production. Ensure your lavender receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Soil: Well-draining soil is crucial. Sandy or loamy soil types are ideal. Avoid clay soils unless amended with organic matter or sand to improve drainage.
• Watering: Lavender is drought-tolerant once established. Water young plants regularly until they are well-rooted. Thereafter, water only when the soil is dry to the touch.
• Spacing: Plant lavender 12-24 inches apart to allow for air circulation, which helps prevent fungal diseases.

Maintenance Tips

• Pruning: Prune annually to maintain shape and encourage bushy growth. The best time to prune is just after flowering, cutting back about one-third of the plant.
• Fertilizing: Lavender typically does not require heavy fertilization. A light application of a balanced fertilizer in early spring is sufficient.
• Mulching: Use gravel or coarse mulch around the base of the plants to keep weeds at bay and improve drainage. Avoid using organic mulch directly against the stem.
• Winter Care: In colder climates, protect lavender plants with a layer of straw or burlap to shield them from harsh winter winds and temperatures.

Benefits of Lavandula Angustifolia White

• Aromatic Qualities: The fragrant blooms are perfect for creating calming, aromatic gardens. The scent is also ideal for use in sachets and potpourri.
