Planting & Care

Transplant your Hidcote Lavender starter into a sunny location with well-drained soil. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant at the same depth it was growing in its pot, and backfill gently. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil moderately moist during the first few weeks to help establishment. Once established, lavender is drought tolerant and prefers drier conditions; avoid overwatering and ensure good drainage, especially in winter.

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage new growth. In colder zones, provide winter protection such as a layer of mulch around the base, but keep mulch away from the crown to prevent rot.
