Where lavender will grow and where it will show its "fie": choosing a place for the fragrant plant
Stunning flowering and an equally impressive aroma - all this can be said with confidence about lavender.
If you have not yet had the opportunity to grow this perennial, but you are not against trying, start by choosing a suitable place, advises the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
You can make the right choice only when you know about the flower’s inherent characteristics.
1. Lavender has never hidden its love for light, so shade will only be useful for young shoots – so that they are not burned by the sun's rays.
2. Another love of the plant is moisture. If in some place for some reason it is difficult to organize watering, it is definitely not suitable for growing lavender.
3. However, all of the above does not mean that the perennial will tolerate stagnant water.

4. And finally, a recommendation that will be more useful to people than to the flower. The purple bush is a well-known honey plant, which means that bees will certainly swarm around it. For this reason, try not to plant lavender where children often play.
