How do I plant Phenomenal Lavender in my garden?

How do I plant Phenomenal Lavender in my garden?

Choose a location with full sun and well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball but no deeper, and set the plant so the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill halfway, water to settle, then finish filling and water again. Space plants 24–36 inches apart to allow for mature growth and air circulation. Plant in spring or early fall so roots establish before the heat of summer or winter cold sets in.

How often should I water Phenomenal Lavender after planting?

How often should I water Phenomenal Lavender after planting?

During the first growing season, water deeply once or twice per week, making sure the soil dries slightly between waterings. Consistent moisture during establishment helps develop strong roots. Once established, Phenomenal Lavender is highly drought-tolerant, requiring only occasional watering in extended dry periods. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

When and how should I fertilize Phenomenal Lavender?

When and how should I fertilize Phenomenal Lavender?

Fertilize sparingly in early spring using a low-nitrogen, slow-release fertilizer formulated for flowering perennials or herbs. Too much nitrogen can reduce flowering and cause excessive leafy growth. A single light feeding each year is sufficient to maintain abundant fragrant blooms and the plant’s silvery evergreen foliage.

Do I need to prune Phenomenal Lavender?

Do I need to prune Phenomenal Lavender?

Prune in late summer or early fall after flowering, cutting back about one-third of the plant’s height to encourage a tidy, mounded habit and strong blooms the following season. Avoid cutting into old woody stems, as lavender does not regenerate from bare wood. Regular light pruning maintains the plant’s compact shape and prolific flowering.
