Plant Bio
If the fragrance alone isn't enough to convince you to grow English lavender (Lavandula Angustifolia), consider that the plants are drought-tolerant and require little maintenance.
Lavender needs full sun and soil that is very well drained. Once established, the plants tolerate dry conditions, but they don't tolerate wet soil. Loose, sandy soil is best. Lavender should receive as much light as possible. It will do best near a window where it can get a minimum of three to four hours of direct sunlight. Rotate the pot weekly for uniform growth and flowering. Without enough light, the lavender plant will produce weak, spindly growth, will cease to produce flowers, and it will be more susceptible to disease. Good ventilation and air circulation are important, but do not place the plant where it will be exposed to the direct flow of forced-air heat.Over- watering and allowing the soil to stay constantly moist may cause rot. However, do not allow the soil to go completely dry, or the lavender will react with yellowing lower leaves.
