Lavender
Our 2.5 litre Agapanthus will be available to buy from September 26.
Lavenders add fragrance and beauty to your garden. The flowers are highly attractive to bees, and excellent for cutting and drying. Plant them in spring for a fragrant display. All our lavenders are available in 9cm pots.
Lavenders like well-drained soil in a sunny site that receives sun for most of the day. Lavandula angustifolia (English) prefers alkaline soil which will help extend its life whilst Lavandula stoechas (French) and to a lesser extent Lavandula x intermedia (Lavandin), can thrive in slightly acid soil. Lime maybe added to acid soils where necessary.
Wet soil in winter can have a terrible effect on hardy and half-hardy lavenders. It is wet soil, rather than frost, that is more likely to kill these plants.
