Platinum Blonde™ Lavender Care
This Lavender has average water needs. Established plants are drought-tolerant, but water during a dry spell helps this Lavender thrive. Plant it in full sun in dry, well-drained soil. Lavender is not a heavy feeder but you can add compost around the root zone for extra nutrition and moisture retention.
Prune the plant after the first round of flowers fade. Cut back growth by one-third to promote more branching and additional blooms.
Platinum Blonde™ Lavender Spacing
The Platinum Blonde™ Lavender has a mounded, upright growth habit and will stand 16 to 24 inches tall and 18 to 22 inches wide. Space plants 16 to 20 inches apart to create a full look.
