Laceleaf Lavender Care

Planting:

• Location: Full sun, 6-8 hours direct sunlight daily
• Soil: Excellent drainage essential; amend clay/compacted soil with compost or aged manure, or use raised beds
• Soil pH: Neutral to slightly alkaline (around 7.0); add lime if needed
• Technique: Dig hole twice as wide/deep as root ball; plant on slight mound if drainage is poor
• Spacing: 1-3 feet apart depending on variety

Watering:

• Water deeply but infrequently
• Allow soil to dry completely between waterings, especially for established plants
• Avoid overwatering

Pruning:

• Prune in spring only
• Cut back stems by no more than one-third
• Promotes more flowers and compact, mounded shape

Mulching:

• Use gravel mulch around base
• Keeps roots cool and prevents moisture buildup
