Frequently Asked Questions

How to grow lavender?
  • Lavender thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, actually preferring poor soils over rich ones. This drought-tolerant perennial needs minimal care once established and can handle both cold winters and hot summers. Plant in spring, ensure good drainage, and avoid overwatering for best results.

Do lavender need full sun?
  • Lavender thrives in full sun and requires at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal flowering and fragrance. Grosso Lavender is particularly sun-loving and drought tolerant once established. Plant in well-draining soil for best results, available at naturehills.com.

Does lavender need deep soil?
  • Lavender doesn't need deep soil and actually thrives in poor, well-drained conditions. Grosso Lavender performs best in shallow, sandy or rocky soils that drain quickly. Avoid rich, deep soils that retain moisture, as they can cause root rot.

Is lavender a perennial in zone 7?
  • Yes, lavender is a perennial in zone 7, where Grosso Lavender thrives as a cold-hardy natural hybrid. This variety produces hundreds of 6-inch purple flower spikes from midsummer through fall. Plant in well-drained soil with full sun for best results.

How tall and wide does Grosso Lavender grow at maturity?
  • Grosso Lavender typically reaches 2-3 feet tall and wide at maturity, forming a neat mounded shape. This natural hybrid produces hundreds of 6-inch flower spikes above attractive silvery foliage. Give it well-drained soil and full sun for best results, available at naturehills.com.

How often should I water Grosso Lavender once it's established?
  • Established Grosso Lavender is drought tolerant and needs minimal watering. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing soil to dry completely between waterings. In most climates, natural rainfall is sufficient once the plant is established. Water only during extended dry periods.

Is Grosso Lavender deer resistant?
  • Yes, Grosso Lavender is deer resistant. Rabbits and deer tend to leave this fragrant perennial alone, likely due to its strong scent. Plant it in sunny, well-drained soil for best results and natural pest protection.

What size container will my Grosso Lavender arrive in and when is the best time to plant it?
  • Grosso Lavender typically arrives in a 4-inch container as a well-rooted plant. Plant in spring after the last frost date or in early fall, giving it 6-8 weeks to establish before winter. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil for best results.

Will my Grosso Lavender survive shipping and what condition should I expect it to arrive in?
  • Grosso Lavender ships exceptionally well due to its hardy, drought-tolerant nature as a natural hybrid. You can expect healthy plants that may look stressed initially but will quickly establish once planted. Plant in well-drained soil with full sun, and your lavender will thrive.

Does Grosso Lavender need regular pruning and when should I do it?
  • Grosso Lavender benefits from annual pruning to maintain its tidy, mounded form and encourage abundant flowering. Prune in early spring after the last frost, cutting back about one-third of the previous year's growth. Avoid cutting into old woody stems, and deadhead spent flower spikes throughout the growing season to promote continuous blooming.
