Choose the Right Location:

Lavender thrives only in full sun and well‑drained soil.

Select a full‑sun spot (minimum 6–8 hours of direct light)
Avoid low areas where water collects
Ideal soil: sandy or loamy with excellent drainage

Prepare the Soil:

Recommended

Proper soil preparation prevents root rot and encourages strong growth.

Loosen soil 12–18 inches deep
Mix in coarse sand or small gravel to improve drainage
If soil is acidic, add a small amount of lime to raise pH (lavender prefers pH 6.5–7.5)

Plant Your Lavender:

Correct spacing and planting depth help the plant form its signature mound.

Dig a hole the same depth as the root ball
Space plants 12–18 inches apart for borders or hedges
Place the plant so the crown sits just above soil level
Backfill lightly and avoid compacting the soil

Water Deeply After Planting:

***Important***

Lavender needs moisture to establish but dislikes consistently wet soil.

Water thoroughly right after planting
For the first 2–3 weeks, water when the top 2 inches of soil are dry
Once established, water sparingly—lavender is drought tolerant

Maintain and Shape

Light pruning keeps Hidcote compact and encourages dense flowering.

In early spring, trim back 1/3 of the plant, avoiding cutting into woody stems
Remove spent blooms to encourage reblooming
Avoid heavy fertilizing—lavender prefers lean soil
