How to Care for Lavender: No More Problems with This Instruction
It is unlikely that any summer resident would refuse the pleasure of having a lavender bush on his plot.
However, it is not so easy to grow it, so if you want to achieve your goal, you should consider several rules. They were shared by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
First of all, it is worth noting that lavender is a crop whose seeds require stratification, that is, technological aging in the cold.
Another option is to simply sow lavender in the winter, but it will be better if you put the seeds in the refrigerator for the winter and sow them for seedlings in February.
If you prefer to get lavender by cuttings from a mother bush, the material you take will take root faster if you store it in vermiculite, which, in turn, should be fertilized with "Kornevin".
Planting young lavenders should be done in autumn or spring, when there is no threat of drought. The same rule applies to planting if you bought full-fledged adult seedlings.
Now let's talk about lavender care, which is not difficult. The main thing to remember is that lavender does not tolerate over-watering and needs to be trimmed - in the spring, after flowering and in the fall.
