FAQs
Are these plants hardy in the UK?
Yes, this variety is specifically grown for UK conditions and is a hardy perennial.
Can I grow these in pots?
Yes, they are excellent for containers provided the pots have drainage holes and you use free-draining soil.
How often should I water them?
Water consistently during the first year of establishment. Once established, they are drought-tolerant and need minimal watering.
When is the best time to prune?
Prune immediately after the flowers have faded in late summer, before the onset of autumn.
Will they attract bees?
Yes, the flowers are nectar-rich and are highly attractive to bees and other garden pollinators.
Troubleshooting
Plant foliage is turning yellow or dying at the base
This is often a sign of waterlogged soil. Improve drainage by adding grit to the planting hole or check if the container has adequate drainage holes.
Lack of flowers
Ensure the plant is receiving at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight. Lavender will struggle to bloom if shaded.
Plant looks woody and leggy
This happens when pruning is neglected. Always prune back the green growth annually to maintain a bushy shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Planting Position: Choose a location with full, direct sunlight. If planting in a container, use a free-draining compost mix, ideally adding a bit of grit or perlite for drainage.
- Spacing: Space plants approximately 45-60cm apart if planting in a row for a continuous, bushy effect.
- Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season until the root system is established. Thereafter, only water during prolonged dry spells.
- Pruning: Prune immediately after flowering in late summer. Cut back the current year's green growth by about one-third, but avoid cutting into old brown wood as it does not regrow easily.
- Soil Compatibility: While they prefer neutral to alkaline soils, they will thrive in any soil type provided it does not hold standing water.
