Lavender is one of the undemanding plants. Except for plenty of sun, they are rather modest. The same goes for fertilizing. The rule here is: less is more!
Many gardens can no longer be imagined without it and it delights with its purple flowers, its intense fragrance and its diverse uses - lavender is one of the most popular garden shrubs of all.
No matter whether in a pot on the terrace or in a bed, with regular care and the right treatment, you can enjoy your lavender for a long time.
Feed lavender only moderately
The most important thing when planting and caring for lavender is the soil. It should be lean and not too moist, otherwise root rot and mold would form from the waterlogging. Lavender comes from the Mediterranean region and therefore likes it rather dry.
You also need to be very careful when fertilizing. Adding some compost, manure, or potash fertilizer (available from Amazon) to the soil when planting is all you need. Lavender doesn't need more. If the soil is too nutrient-rich due to the fertilizer, the shoots lignify faster and it becomes more sensitive to frost.
