Commonly Asked Questions
What is the best month to plant lavender?
Lavender is best planted in April or May as the soil naturally warms up and when many fresh plants become available in garden centres. Avoid planting in winter when young plants are vulnerable to rotting in cold, wet soils.
Where is the best place to plant lavender?
Lavender needs full sun and well-drained soil to grow best. In hot summer climates, some afternoon shade can help them thrive. Lavender grows best in low to moderately-fertile soils and performs best in neutral to slightly alkaline soils.
Should lavender be cut back?
Yes, all lavenders need to be pruned regularly to help them thrive. It's almost impossible to rejuvenate a neglected plant once left too long. Regular pruning stimulates new growth and keeps the plant healthy and vibrant.
Can lavender grow in pots?
Lavender grows well in pots and containers when the conditions are right. It requires a large pot, well-draining soil, ample sunlight, and should not be kept too moist. This setup ensures your lavender prospers.
What is the lifespan of a lavender plant?
With proper care, lavender plants can thrive for 10 to 15 years. Pruning every year after flowering by shearing back the plant to half its size will stimulate new growth, create a bushier plant, and extend its longevity.
