Spacing: Be sure to check the mature height and spread of the variety you’ve chosen and plant accordingly. Avenues and hedges can be planted more closely. Soil: One bucket of compost per plant will not only get your lavender off to a good start but improve soil texture, adding nutrients to sandy soil and loosening up heavy clay. Regular dressings of compost will extend the life of the plant. Take care when mulching to keep the compost clear of the stem. Water three times a week until established; thereafter twice a week, making sure that the ground has dried out. Do not over water your plants.
