Lavender

Lavender, a beloved herb, is prized for its aromatic foliage and exquisite purple, blue, or pink flowers. It's a versatile plant, known for its culinary, medicinal, and ornamental uses. Lavender thrives in sunny, well-drained soil and is cherished for its soothing scent and pollinator-attracting blooms.

Planting and Growing

Plant lavender in an area with full sun exposure and excellent drainage. Space them apart to promote air circulation, preventing disease. Lavender is drought-tolerant once established, making it ideal for arid climates. Prune regularly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth. Fertilise with organic plant food twice per year and add dolomite lime also to ensure soil alkalinity. 

Caring and Maintenance

Lavender is generally low-maintenance. Water sparingly, as it prefers drier conditions. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Applying a balanced fertiliser sparingly in spring promotes growth. Pruning spent flowers and cutting back in early spring rejuvenates the plant.

Popular Varieties

Lavender boasts numerous popular varieties, such as English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), Spanish Lavender (Lavandula stoechas), and French Lavender (Lavandula dentata). Each offers unique characteristics in terms of fragrance, flower color, and growth habit.
