Lavender is exactly the plant that can decorate any area with its flowering and aroma.

However, anyone who dreams of filling their garden with fragrant lavender flowers should familiarize themselves with a number of rules that must be followed when growing this flower.

1. The plant should be given an open sunny area - in the shade you will not be able to enjoy lush flowering.

2. The acidity of the soil is also important; its pH should be between 6.5-7.5.

If the soil in your area is not suitable for growing lavender, plant the flower in a container.

3. In addition, it is worth taking care of regular loosening of the soil. By the way, lavender grows best on sandstone, while heavy soils are not to its taste.

4. When replanting plants, you should act as carefully as possible so as not to destroy the lump of earth.

Capricious lavender reacts painfully to such a procedure, so be prepared for the fact that after transplantation the bushes will need a lot of time to adapt.
