Product information

Lavender is deservedly popular and iconic for both its superb fragrance and beautiful flowers. This lovely English variety has silvery foliage and beautiful spikes of deep blue-violet flowers that appear earlier than many other lavenders. Ideal in borders, herb gardens, containers or as part of a sensory garden

• Prefers a well-drained neutral to alkaline soil but tolerates acidic conditions. In heavy soil improve drainage as it does not tolerate waterlogging in Sunny areas
• Any type of soil - Well drained
• Flowering period - Summer
• Dig soil improver in to the soil. Dig a hole twice as big as the pot, remove the pot from the rootball and place in the hole, ensuring the top of the plant roots is level with the soil surface. Backfill soil around the roots and water well
• Cut back the stalks after the flowers have faded. Carefully trim back foliage in April, taking care not to cut into old wood. Lavenders prefer to grow in soil that is low in nutrients, so only use high potash/low nitrogen feed
