How to fill out lavenders for california gardens

How to fill out lavenders for California gardens:

1. Choose a sunny location: Lavenders thrive in full sun, so select a spot in your California garden that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
2. Prepare the soil: Lavenders prefer well-draining soil, so amend the soil with compost or sand to improve drainage if necessary. It is also beneficial to slightly raise the planting area to prevent waterlogging.
3. Plant the lavenders: Dig a hole slightly larger than the rootball of the lavender plant. Gently remove the plant from its container, loosen the roots, and place it in the hole. Backfill with soil, firming it around the plant, ensuring the crown is planted at soil level.
4. Water thoroughly: Give the newly planted lavenders a deep watering, making sure the soil is evenly moist. Afterward, reduce watering frequency to prevent overwatering, as lavenders are drought-tolerant plants.
5. Mulch the area: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the lavender plant, such as wood chips or straw, to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and provide some insulation for the root system.
6. Prune regularly: To maintain the shape and encourage bushy growth, prune your lavenders annually, ideally in early spring. Remove any dead or damaged branches and lightly shape the plant by trimming back up to one-third of its height.
7. Fertilize sparingly: Lavenders are not heavy feeders and generally do well without regular fertilization. However, you can apply a balanced organic fertilizer or compost in early spring to provide some nutrients.
8. Enjoy and harvest the blooms: Lavenders are well-known for their fragrant flowers, attracting pollinators and adding beauty to your garden. Once the flowers have fully bloomed, you can harvest them for various uses, such as creating potpourri, essential oil, or dried flower arrangements.
