How to Grow Sweet Lavender
- 1). Select healthy looking lavender plant(s) at your nursery. Make sure they are not too small.
- 2). Choose a spot in your garden that gets direct sun at least six hours each day. A few cloudy days now and then won't hurt its ability to do well and to flower.
- 3). Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball of your young lavender plant(s). Add compost to the hole.
- 4). Place the lavender plant into the hole, then tap the soil down around its base so it sits securely.
- 5). Water your new planting well, and keep it moist until new growth begins to appear. After that, this plant is very adaptable to dry spells.
