Growing Information

Sow English Lavender seeds under cover in spring in seed trays or small pots. Use light, well-drained compost and keep the soil lightly moist during germination.

Plant seedlings outdoors once they are strong enough and the risk of frost has passed. Choose a warm, sunny position with free-draining soil. Lavender does not like wet or heavy soil, so avoid waterlogged areas.

Once established, English Lavender is fairly drought tolerant and benefits from light trimming after flowering to keep plants neat and compact.
