Planting & Care

Transplant your Provence Lavender starter into a sunny location with well-drained soil. If planting in a container, use a quality potting mix amended with perlite or sand for extra drainage. Water thoroughly after planting, then allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Lavender dislikes soggy roots, so avoid overwatering and ensure good air circulation around the plant.

Once established, Provence Lavender is relatively low-maintenance. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth. In colder regions, provide winter protection or grow in a container that can be moved indoors. Enjoy the fragrant blooms fresh or dried for sachets and arrangements.
