Lavandula angustifolia 'Arctic Snow' - 9cm pot

Dense spikes of pure white, fragrant flowers appear in late summer which shine out among aromatic, grey-green leaves. This is a compact variety of English lavender that makes a gorgeous, informal flowering hedge, especially for edging a path and border, and brushing against it releases its heady fragrance. The flower-spikes are highly attractive to bees and other beneficial insects.

Plant Care

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.
• Can be left in garden all year round
• Our lavender plants are sold as culinary herbs
