Lavender 'Arabian Nights'

How to grow the 'Arabian Nights Lavender in NZ

'Arabian Nights' Lavender thrives in full sun with free-draining soil and low humidity. Choose a warm, open position sheltered from strong winds, and avoid planting in damp or shaded areas. Before planting, enrich the soil with compost or coarse sand to improve drainage. Space plants about 60–70 cm apart to allow airflow and prevent mould or rot. Water regularly during establishment, then only during extended dry spells. Lightly prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage dense, repeat blooming. Avoid cutting into old wood, and feed with a low-nitrogen fertiliser in spring.

Lavender 'Arabian Nights' care tips

Prune 'Arabian Nights' Lavender lightly after each main flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage further blooms. Avoid cutting into old woody stems, as this can reduce regrowth. Water regularly during dry periods, especially in the first year, but allow the soil to dry slightly between watering. Mulch with gravel or light compost to suppress weeds and improve drainage, keeping the base of the plant clear. Apply a light feed with a low-nitrogen fertiliser in spring to support healthy flowering.
