🌿 Growing & Care Guide

Lavender is a fragrant, resilient perennial herb loved for its calming aroma, beautiful blooms, and pollinator appeal. Perfect for herb gardens, sensory spaces, and bee-friendly landscapes, lavender brings both beauty and biodiversity to every garden.


🌿 Quick Facts

  • Botanical Name: Lavandula angustifolia (English Lavender)

  • Type: Perennial evergreen shrub

  • Sunlight: Full sun (6+ hours daily)

  • Height: 18–36 inches (45–90 cm)

  • Spacing: 18–24 inches apart

  • Germination Time: 14–28 days

  • Bloom Time: Summer (June–August in the UK)


🌞 How to Grow

  1. Start Indoors 10–12 weeks before last frost.

  2. Cold Stratify: Chill seeds in fridge for 3–4 weeks before sowing.

  3. Surface Sow: Press gently into moist compost — don’t cover, seeds need light.

  4. Transplant Outdoors after frost into sandy, well-drained soil.


💧 Care Tips

  • Watering: Water young plants regularly. Once established, water sparingly.

  • Feeding: Avoid rich soil — lean conditions improve fragrance.

  • Pruning: Trim after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushy growth.

  • Pot Friendly: Grows well in containers with excellent drainage.


🌼 Growing Sustainably

  • Pollinator Magnet: Loved by bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects.

  • Drought Tolerant: Once mature, needs little water — ideal for eco gardens.

  • Multi-Use: Use dried flowers for teas, sachets, bath blends, and crafts.


✂️ Harvesting

  • Harvest flower spikes when about two-thirds of buds have opened.

  • Cut stems in the morning once dew has dried.

  • Hang bunches upside down in a cool, dry place to preserve.

Tip: Avoid cutting into woody stems — always prune soft, green growth.


❄️ Overwintering

  • Hardy in most of the UK, but dislikes wet roots in winter.

  • Improve drainage or raise pots, and mulch lightly in colder regions.


🌿 Peaceful, Pollinator-Loving & Perennial
