Lavender is loved for its lovely scent and calming vibes. It's a hardy plant that can brighten up your garden with purple blooms and attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.
1. Choosing the Right Lavender Variety
English lavender is popular for gardens due to its fragrance and bloom size, while French lavender is a bit more heat-tolerant. Pick the type that suits your climate best.
2. Planting and Soil Requirements
Lavender prefers well-drained, slightly alkaline soil and lots of sunlight. Avoid overwatering since lavender thrives in drier conditions and can suffer from root rot in wet soil.
3. Pruning and Harvesting Tips
Prune lavender plants annually after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth. Harvest blooms in the morning when the scent is strongest for drying or crafting.
