Lavender grows well with appropriate care
Where the lavender feels good, it grows very fast. Therefore, you should ensure optimal site conditions and proper care.
Lavender enough space to grow
Since lavender grows very quickly and above all very bushy in the wet conditions, you should already pay attention to the setting of the young plants to a sufficient distance. Otherwise, it may happen that you have to laboriously separate and transplant the plants in a few years. How big the planting distance should be, depends on the type of lavender. The lower this grows, the smaller the distance between the individual plants can be. Topflavendel needs the largest possible bucket - the bigger, the better.
Cut back lavender annually
Botanically, lavender belongs to the half-shrubs, d. H. over the years, the older shoots lignify. From this wood, however, no new shoots and thus no flowers grow. So that you do not have a more or less bare bush in a short time, you should cut the lavender annually - preferably in spring and after flowering. In particular, the shape cut in spring stimulates the plant to a lush growth of young shoots.
Tips & Tricks
Do not fertilize lavender too often, because that does not accelerate the growth of new shoots, only the lignification. Planted lavender only needs some lime from time to time.
