LAVENDER CARE
Plant lavender in full sun and well-drained soil (add organic matter to improve heavy soils).
Water plants deeply but infrequently, when the soil is almost dry.
Prune in early spring or at harvest time. For low-growing varieties, trim back foliage 1 to 2 inches. Starting in a plant's second year, all 3- to 4-foot lavenders should be cut back by about a third to keep the plant from getting overly woody. If a plant becomes woody and open in the center, remove a few of the oldest branches; take out more when new growth starts. If this doesn't work, it's time to dig out the plant and replace it. (Some commercial growers replace plants after 10 to 12 years.)
Harvest for sachets and potpourri by cutting flower spikes or stripping flowers from stems just as blossoms show color; dry in a cool, shaded place.
