Lavender 'Radiance'

How to grow Lavender 'Radiance' in NZ

Lavender 'Radiance' grows best in full sun with free draining soil and good airflow. Choose an open position that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. Avoid heavy, waterlogged ground, especially through winter, as excess moisture can damage the roots. Water regularly while the plant is establishing, then reduce watering once strong root growth has developed. Mature plants tolerate dry conditions well. In containers, use a free draining potting mix and ensure drainage holes remain clear. A light application of fertiliser in spring can support healthy growth and flowering.

Lavender 'Radiance' care tips

Lavender 'Radiance' is easy to care for when planted in a sunny, well drained position. Water during prolonged dry periods, but avoid frequent watering once the plant is established. Trim lightly after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage fresh growth, taking care not to cut deeply into old woody stems. Remove spent flower stems if a tidier appearance is preferred. Avoid excessive fertiliser, as rich feeding can produce soft growth and fewer flowers. Good sunlight, airflow, drainage, and regular light pruning help Lavender 'Radiance' remain dense, healthy, and attractive.

Lavender 'Radiance' typically grows to around 60 to 80 cm tall and spreads to a similar width, forming a compact, rounded shrub.

Space plants approximately 50 to 70 cm apart for a continuous border or mass planting, allowing enough room for air movement and natural development. Regular light trimming helps maintain a dense shape. With suitable conditions, Lavender 'Radiance' develops into a neat evergreen shrub with attractive foliage and a dependable seasonal flower display.
