How to grow Lavender 'Dilly Dilly' in NZ

Lavender 'Dilly Dilly' thrives in full sun and free draining soil to ensure strong flowering and long term health. Choose a warm, sunny spot with at least six hours of direct light each day. Avoid heavy or waterlogged soils, as lavender prefers dry and open conditions. Water plants regularly during establishment, then reduce watering to occasional deep soakings. It performs reliably in coastal and inland gardens throughout New Zealand.

Lavender 'Dilly Dilly' care tips

Caring for Lavender 'Dilly Dilly' is simple and low maintenance. Trim lightly after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage fresh new growth. Avoid cutting back into old wood, as lavender reshoots best from younger stems. Once established, water sparingly and avoid excessive fertiliser, which can produce soft growth. Apply a slow release fertiliser in spring to support reliable flowering.
