Lavandula pedunculata ‘Lavender The Queen’

Lavender The Queen is a neat, rounded, evergreen perennial which is a show stopper in the garden. From Spring, an abundance of bright violet-purple flowers with heavily ruffled bracts form above the foliage. Flowers will repeat bloom in Autumn and Winter. The leaves are a lovely bright green and are aromatic. This is an outstanding garden performer as they will tolerate extended periods of dry weather conditions. Lavender The Queen is best used in smaller gardens, patio areas, planted as a low hedge, border plant or as a filler plant in garden beds. Prune after flowering to promote dense new growth and further flowering. Low-moderate watering requirements once established, however, the plant will benefit from occasional watering in the peak of Summer. Applying a layer of mulch around the base 0f the plant will help to retain moisture at the roots during hot, dry weather.

Planting Tips:
Make sure to prepare the soil prior to planting. Mixing in a bag of well-aged animal manure or compost can help to condition and revitalise tired soil. Make sure to blend compost/manure with the pre-existing soil, mixing together thoroughly. Once the soil has been prepare, dig a hole which is wider, but not deeper, than what the original size of the pot the plant has come in. Position the plant in the hole and backfill any gaps with the excess soil. Give the plant a deep soaking of water to help settle the roots.

If planting into a pot, make sure the container selected is large enough for the plant which is going to be planted. Never pot a plant into a container which is too small. Use a premium quality potting mix as this has all the added fertilisers and wetting agents required for having a healthy plant.
