Plant Information

Plant Care

Munstead Lavender thrives with minimal maintenance in the right conditions. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing soil to dry between waterings. Prune in early spring to maintain shape and promote dense growth. Remove spent flower stems to encourage reblooming and prevent self-seeding. Apply a light layer of mulch to protect roots, but keep it away from the crown to prevent rot.

Planting Instructions

Plant in spring or early fall in full sun locations. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Mix organic matter into the native soil if needed to improve drainage. Space plants 12-16 inches apart. Water thoroughly after planting and maintain consistent moisture until established. Add a layer of gravel or sand around the plant base to improve drainage and reflect heat.
