About this plant
English lavender forms compact mounds of grey foliage, topped from June to August with blue-violet spikes that bees love. Its scent, finer than that of lavandin hybrids, is released at the slightest touch.
Along a path, at the foot of an olive tree or in a terrace planter, it brings a Provençal note that Moroccan light makes even more vivid. It needs little water and dislikes heavy soils.
A firm cut after flowering keeps it dense and youthful for years.

Care
Caring for your plant
Watering
Water only once the soil is dry deep down; weekly in pots in summer, almost never in the ground after the first year.
Light
Full sun is essential. In shade it grows leggy and flowers poorly.
Feeding
No fertiliser needed. Poor, chalky soil intensifies the scent.
Temperature
Hardy to −15 °C and comfortable up to 40 °C, provided the roots never sit in water.
