Lavender typically grows to a height of 30 to 60 centimeters, forming compact bushes with slender stems and narrow leaves. In summer, Lavender bursts into bloom, adorning its branches with spikes of fragrant flowers in shades of purple, blue, or white. These blooms not only add a delightful aroma to the garden but also attract pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hoverflies.

Plant Lavender in a position with full sunlight and well-drained soil. It thrives in dry, sandy, or rocky soil types and is tolerant of drought once established. Lavender benefits from regular pruning after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage bushy growth.

To plant, ensure spacing of around 30 to 60 centimeters between plants to allow for proper airflow and growth. Lavender does not require frequent feeding but benefits from a yearly application of a balanced fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth and abundant flowering.

Lavender’s fragrant flowers are highly attractive to pollinators, making it an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens. By cultivating Lavender, you not only enjoy its beauty and fragrance but also support local pollinator populations, contributing to the biodiversity of your outdoor space.
