Lavender Basics
- The most sweetly fragrant lavender of all
- Plenty of sunshine,the more the better
- Fast-draining sandy or gravelly soil is ideal
- Shear lightly all over when flowers finish
- Likes plenty of rain or watering during the cool months of the year,from May to September
Grower's tip:
Lavenders love lime.Each spring,spinkle one handful of Dolomite lime around each plant,lightly scratch it into the soil and water in well.
