Lavender has been grown for centuries for its intensely fragrant flowers and beautiful appearance. It is a staple item of every sunny garden, and its dried flowers are widely used in potpourris and arrangements. Lavender must be grown in full sun to be able to produce flowers, so it’s perfect for planting in hot, dry areas where nothing else seems to grow. Lavender grows better in poor, gravelly soil than in rich humus, so avoid enriching the soil when you plant it. Sharp drainage, especially in winter, is essential for preventing crown rot. Lavender is known to have few problems with pests and diseases. Shearing back the evergreen foliage in early spring will rejuvenate plants and stimulate new growth.

Root trimming is generally not necessary, and Lavender prefers a moderately cool start until their roots are established. Wet, poorly-draining soil and high humidity conditions with poor air movement are the demise of lavender plants and often will lead to decline. Once vernalized, lavender will flower under any day length.
