How to Grow Lavender

Do you want to grow your own lavender? It’s a lovely plant that smells great and looks beautiful! Here are some easy steps to help you grow lavender successfully:

Find the Perfect Spot

Lavender loves the sun! Make sure to plant it in a sunny place where it can soak up lots of sunlight. It also needs soil that drains well, so water doesn’t stay around the roots too long.

Water Wisely

Lavender doesn’t like too much water. It’s important to let the soil dry out a bit before you water it again. This helps keep the roots healthy and prevents them from rotting.

Trim for Success

To help your lavender grow nice and bushy, give it a little trim now and then. Pruning, or cutting back some of the plant, helps it grow more branches and flowers.
