Planting Instructions

When to Plant:

Plant Lavandula in spring or early autumn when the soil is workable. Avoid planting during hard frost or into waterlogged ground.

Where to Plant:
Choose a sunny, sheltered position with free-draining soil. Lavender thrives in dry, open conditions and is ideal for containers, patio pots, borders and gravel gardens.

How to Plant:

• Depth: Plant so the top of the rootball sits level with the soil surface.
• Spacing: Space plants about 30–40 cm (12–16 inches) apart.
• Soil Prep: Improve soil with grit or sharp sand to ensure excellent drainage. Avoid overly rich compost.

Watering:
Water after planting and keep the soil lightly moist while establishing. Once established, lavender is drought tolerant and requires minimal watering.

Aftercare Tips:

• Trim lightly after flowering to maintain a compact shape.
• Avoid cutting into old woody stems.
• Ensure plants are not sitting in wet soil over winter.

Perfect for pots and patios, ‘Cleo-Patio’ looks stunning planted in terracotta containers and paired with other Mediterranean-style plants.
