How to Care for a Lavender Hedge
Lavender makes a good Hedge with a height of up to 60cm. Make a trench of 30 cm deep and 20 cm wide, fill this up with a mix of potting compost and coarse sand. Plant the lavender plants with a spacing of 15cm (7 plants on a meter). Give lavender in early spring a dung with a organic fertiliser pellets and during May and July a compound fertiliser.
Important: as soon as the flowers fade into a gray blue trim down the flowerstalks to just under neath the first row of foliage (top down). This keeps the growth Healthy and New wood underneath will be grow. During end of March - early April trim the whole Hedge down to 2/3 of its height (take 1/3 off) this will stimulate growth of New flower shoot on the wood grown during summer of last year. By doing so you will get more flowers on a Healthy strong Hedge which is well shaped.
