Lavender 'Munstead' - 3 x Plug Plants

Plug plants are best planted in spring or early autumn when the weather is milder, allowing them to establish roots before extreme heat or cold.

Water regularly until the plant is established. Once mature, lavender is drought-tolerant and prefers to dry out between waterings. Overwatering is a common cause of problems.

Lavender, including the 'Munstead' variety, prefers full sun for best growth and flowering. It may survive in partial shade but will likely be less vigorous and produce fewer blooms.

Cut the flower spikes when they are in full bloom, ideally in the morning after the dew has dried. Bundle them and hang them upside down in a cool, dark, well-ventilated place to dry.
