Angustifolia Imperial Gem - 5L Pot

Very well established Imperial Gem lavender plants in large 5 litre pots.

Resembling ‘Hidcote’ but with striking silvery foliage and a more robust form, this variety features deep purple, mildly fragrant blooms. First introduced in the 1980s, it adds both colour and texture to the garden.

• Hardy
• Final height: approx. 60cm
• Planting space: 3 to 4 plants within a metre

PLANTING

• Plant in well drained neutral-alkaline soil. You should incorporate grit/sharp sand when planting lavender to improve drainage in heavy soil. Lavender thrives in poor, sandy soil
• Plant in a sunny position. 
• Water for approximately three weeks until established - A good soak to establish root growth

CARE

• Requires minimal watering: Do not over water.
• Prune after flowering. Cut back quite hard but don’t cut into old wood, as this can reduce flowering potential the following year. Be careful not to remove green shoots as this can kill the plant.
