Process :
? Choose a sunny spot in your yard ? Check the soil for drainage. Lavender won't grow well in damp, soggy soil. It needs dry, sandy soil that drains very quickly so the roots won't rot. ? Water lavender deeply but infrequently. Wait until the soil is dry before you water lavender. When you do water, water for several minutes to make sure the roots get completely soaked. ? Fertilize lavender in early spring. Lavender doesn't need to be fertilized more than once a year. ? Prune lavender. All year round, check the plant for dead or dying shoots and remove them promptly with a pair of sanitized pruning shears. ? Harvest the flowers. When the lavender flowers just begin to open, usually in early summer, gather the lavender into a bunch (one bunch is about a handful of stems) and cut the stems.
? Aids in digestion ? Gives relief from insomnia and apnea ? Prevent growth of harmful bacteria in gut ? Beneficial in reducing anxiety and stress
Do's
? Faded blooms should be removed to promote further blossoming. ? Lavender likes heat, and many varieties won?t survive a cold winter.
Don'ts
