Growing Tips

Plant in a sunny position in well-drained or even poor soil — lavender hates sitting in wet ground. Ideal for borders, gravel gardens, raised beds, patio containers, and low hedging. A wonderful companion to roses, salvias, and ornamental grasses.

Care

Trim back lightly after flowering to keep the plant compact and bushy — avoid cutting back into old wood. Hardy in most UK conditions, though excellent drainage is key to longevity. A light mulch of grit around the base helps protect roots in wetter winters.
