Growing in Pots

Smaller varieties of lavender plants (those growing up to 60cm) are suitable for growing
in pots. Slightly larger lavender plants (growing to 80cm) can be grown but should
be transplanted out to the garden after two years. All potted lavender plants
need well draining potting mix (not one containing pine chips etc. as
this is too acidic), with good drainage in the bottom of the pot.
Watering is kept to maintaining moisture but not keeping
the lavender plant wet. Do not over water the lavender
as the lavender plant will get root rot and probably die.
In winter watering should be kept to a minimum.
More nutrients will need to be added or the lavender
plant repotted every 12 months to keep it looking
at its best.
