Lavandula angustifolia 'Rosea'

How to grow Lavandula angustifolia 'Rosea' in NZ

Lavandula angustifolia 'Rosea' grows best in a sunny position with excellent drainage. Plant it in light free draining soil and choose a location that receives plenty of direct sunlight each day. Lavender performs especially well in raised beds, borders, or containers where excess moisture can drain away easily. In wetter parts of New Zealand improving the soil with sand or grit can help create the dry conditions lavender prefers.

Lavandula angustifolia 'Rosea' care tips

Lavandula angustifolia 'Rosea' is easy to care for when planted in the right conditions. Water regularly while plants establish but once mature they prefer drier soil and should not be over watered. Trim lightly after flowering to keep the plant compact and encourage fresh growth. Removing spent flower stems will often promote additional blooms. Applying a light fertiliser in spring will help maintain healthy foliage and flowering.

Lavandula angustifolia 'Rosea' size, spacing, and growth rate

Lavandula angustifolia 'Rosea' typically grows to around 50 to 70 cm tall and spreads about 60 cm wide when mature. Growth is moderate and plants gradually form a neat rounded shrub. When planting multiple lavenders allow around 50 to 60 cm between plants so air can circulate freely. With good sunlight and well drained soil the plants establish quickly and develop into attractive flowering shrubs.
