Lavandula 'Ghostly Princess'

How to grow Lavandula 'Ghostly Princess' in NZ

Grow Lavandula 'Ghostly Princess' in full sun with free draining soil. Choose an open position where the plant receives plenty of light and air movement, as lavender performs best in warm, dry conditions. Improve heavy soil with coarse material and compost before planting to prevent wet roots over winter. Water regularly while the plant establishes, then reduce watering once it is settled. Avoid overly rich fertilisers, which can encourage soft growth and fewer flowers. A raised bed, gravel garden, or sunny container is ideal where drainage is limited. Good drainage is essential for healthy roots and lasting performance.

Lavandula 'Ghostly Princess' care tips

Lavandula 'Ghostly Princess' is easy to care for when planted in sun and well drained soil. Water young plants during dry periods, then only occasionally once established. Trim spent flower stems after each flush to encourage a tidy shape and further flowering. Lightly prune the plant after flowering, taking care not to cut deeply into old woody stems. Feed sparingly in spring with a gentle balanced fertiliser if needed. Keep the crown clear of heavy mulch and avoid wet conditions around the roots. Regular trimming will help maintain a compact, attractive plant with abundant flowers.

Lavandula 'Ghostly Princess' size, spacing, and growth rate

Lavandula 'Ghostly Princess' typically grows about 60 cm to 80 cm tall and 60 cm to 80 cm wide, forming a rounded, bushy plant with aromatic silver foliage.
