Tips to grow Lavender

  1. Arrange good quality lavender cuttings.
  2. The soil should be evenly moist, but not wet or soggy and moderately fertile.
  3. Plant the cuttings in the soil. One plant in one container only. If you want to plant cuttings in your garden, keep space of 24 inches between them.
  4. Add mulch to keep weeds to a minimum. Keep the mulch away from the crown of the lavender plant, however, to prevent excess moisture and root rot.
  5. Harvest the lavender stems when approximately half of the flower buds have opened. Cut stems as long as possible. Gather into bundles and secure them with rubber bands. Dry the bundles of lavender in a cool, dark place where there is good air circulation.
  6. Use your lavender to make lavender sachets a lovely gift!
