How to Grow Lavender in New Zealand

After you purchase lavender plants, give them a sunny spot and well-drained soil—lavender dislikes wet feet. Space your plants generously to encourage good air flow, which helps prevent humidity-related problems. Plant in garden beds, along paths, or in containers on the deck for Mediterranean flair and easy harvest access.

A light prune in spring keeps lavender tidy and encourages bushy new growth. Regular deadheading, especially for repeat-flowering types, extends the flowering season.
