💜 Lavender
Lavandula angustifolia
Full sun, poor drained soil: lavender is planted in spring or early autumn and blooms June to August. Its lifespan depends on one thing only — the yearly trim.

The tips that matter
- Trim every year after flowering (August) into a dome, NEVER cutting into old wood: it does not regrow.
- No fertiliser, no watering once established: waterlogged lavender loses scent and hardiness.
- In heavy soil plant on a gravel mound — winter wet kills lavender, not cold.
