Planting & Care

Tips for Growing Lavender

Lavender are sun-loving plants that thrive in hot weather and grow best in arid climates. Lavender plants will be taller and wider in mild winter, hot summer climates. The same varieties when grown in cold (zone 5-6) winter climates tend to be more compact. Lavender plants require two-to-three growing seasons to reach mature size.

Lavender plants are at their best in the drier parts of the US like the Great Plains, Intermountain West and West Coast (which has a true Mediterranean climate (wet winters and dry summers). The key is to make sure you choose a variety with sufficient winter cold hardiness for your region. (‘Vera’ and ‘Pastor’s Pride’ are among the most cold hardy.) Yet with proper soil preparation, and planting site selection, Lavender can also thrive in moister, more humid climates like the Mid-West, East Coast and Mid-Atlantic states.

  • Plant in full sun with good air circulation.
  • Plant into well drained soil. Compost-enriched garden loam is alright in drier climates, sandy or gravel soil is best in moister climates. Heavy, poorly-drained clay soils will be fatal.
  • Select a raised or sloped bed, or a planting site against a hot wall or along a cement/asphalt walk or driveway where the reflected heat keeps growing conditions hotter and drier.
  • New transplants need regular watering. Don't let the plants get too dry. Supplemental watering can be greatly reduced the second growing season as the plants become established.
  • When using drip irrigation, place the emitter off to the side of the plant, not right on the root ball to avoid overwatering of mature plants.
  • Fertilize once annually in the fall with a top dressing of Yum Yum Mix.
  • Mulch with gravel or pine needles in arid climates. In moister climates mulching with gravel will protect the crown from excessive moisture and soil splashed onto the foliage.

Reviews

Lavender for Washington

"I have tried many different varieties of lavender and this is the only variety that has survived the winter. It remains evergreen and beautiful even in January. It also does well with slightly wetter weather just make sure that there is a layer of grit at the bottom and the soil around it is chunky."

— Laura (5/5)

Hardy lavender

"Bees love it and the grasshopper invasion hasn't seemed to decimate them (yet). Beautiful foliage and the flowers are an added bonus."

— Mtn A. (4/5)

A big Wow! For pastors pride

"This is the second season for this lavender and it tripled in size! Healthy and beautiful and ready to bloom. What a treat!"

— Nana (5/5)

Definitely hardy

"Most of the lavender plants I got survived a cold winter that included a freakish ice storm. They grew quickly and are proving to be drought resistant here in our super hot Texas summer. The plants bloomed last summer but haven't produced any blooms yet this year. The two that I planted in large metal water troughs are not doing well, so maybe not good for containers."

— SK314 (4/5)

I have purchased this twice and would a third if in stock

"Lining long drive and walking paths. Plants arrived quickly. Very healthy. Thriving so far."

— R (5/5)

it is not doing very good

"I planted rhis in a memorial garden for my pets. This one is not growing,"

— TJ (3/5)

First class!

"Home gardener here. I've ordered from HCG in the past as well as this season. Great plants and thoughtful service. And an unexpected bonus…as a few ""volunteers"" have emerged to relocate elsewhere in the yard. Always pleased and yet to be disappointed. Thanks HCG."

— SoCal G. (5/5)

I will buy this again if we plant another area.

"I have never been able to grow lavender, but we moved last spring and this plant is doing great in our new yard!"

— Quirky G. (5/5)

this lavender has thrived in my gardner

"This lavender has done very well in my garden. I have alot of clay in my soil so finding drought tolerant plants that are successful can be a real challenge. I have been surprised at how well this plant has done."

— Gregsteele (4/5)

Love Lavender

"The one plant that lived was wonderful."
