How To Care Lavender Plants. Water mature plants every two to three weeks until buds form then once or twice weekly until harvest. Luckily none of this is very intensive.
In winter keep the containers fairly dry maybe in a cold greenhouse or in the rain shadow at the base of a wall to keep off excessive rain which will help improve the plants tolerance to cold weather. If you grow it in the garden and winters tend to be really cold where you live youll have to overwinter the plant to ensure it survives and grows back in the spring. Prune the entire plant back by 13 in early spring before the new growth emerges to tidy the shape of the plant.
Protect your lavender plants from harsh winter winds by planting them next to a stone or brick wall which will provide additional heat and protection.
Lavender Plants Care While its easy to get your lavender plant started youll need to invest some time and effort to see it flower successfully. Place your container grown lavender plants somewhere they receive full sun at least eight hours per day and water them sparingly. Water newly planted French lavender straight after planting and continue to water every 3 to 4 days in the first month and then once per week till three month after planting. Plant Lavender plants in full sun which means at the very least 6 hours or more as that is what this plant needs to thrive.
