Care
Planting & Growing
Munstead Lavender thrives in well-drained, slightly alkaline soil that is lean and loose; avoid heavy, compacted soils. Plant with the crown slightly above soil level, ensuring a minimum spacing of 2 to 3 feet between plants. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish the root system. Once established, reduce watering frequency as the plant becomes more drought-tolerant. To encourage continuous blooming, remove spent flowers throughout the season.
Customer Reviews
We went specifically to buy the Munstead Lavender in their ad for $5.99. Their website & POS system said they were in stock. No staff member could locate them. They all said they had never seen them. They offered to special order them at the sale price, then the POS system said the warehouse was out of stock. Then they offered to order the 1 gallon version at full price. I’m OK with ordering the larger version, but would have appreciated some sort of discount since they never had the 4” version mentioned in the ad. 😕
