Growing time: English Lavender is a perennial plant that can live and bloom for many years with proper care. The first flowers usually appear in the second year after planting.
Flowering: English Lavender flowers in mid to late summer, producing spikes of violet or blue flowers that are highly aromatic and attractive to pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
Lighting: Prefers full sun for optimal growth and production of high-quality essential oils. Make sure the plant receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Watering: English Lavender is drought tolerant once established. It is important to water it moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as the plant is susceptible to root rot in poorly drained soil.
Pests: It is a generally pest-resistant plant, although it can be affected by aphids or mites in inappropriate growing conditions. The use of environmentally friendly products, such as potassium soap and Neem oil, is recommended to keep pests under control.
Cold hardiness: English Lavender is cold hardy and can withstand light frosts, making it suitable for temperate climates. In areas with severe winters, it is recommended to protect it with mulch or grow it in pots that can be moved indoors.
Substrate: A well-drained, slightly alkaline substrate is recommended. A mix of potting soil with coarse sand or perlite is ideal for this plant. Lavender prefers nutrient-poor soils, so it does not require frequent fertilization.
Shipping: All shipments are made through Bluespress. Check out our growing manuals on our website: www.arcademendel.com .
