How to grow Lavender 'Major' in NZ

Lavender 'Major' grows best in full sun and free draining soil to ensure strong flowering. Choose a warm site that receives at least six hours of sun each day. Avoid heavy or waterlogged soils, as lavender prefers dry, open ground. Water young plants regularly until they establish, then reduce watering to occasional deep soakings during hot spells. It performs well in both coastal and inland conditions across New Zealand.

Lavender 'Major' care tips

Caring for Lavender 'Major' is simple and rewarding. Trim lightly after flowering to promote a tidy shape and encourage new growth. Avoid cutting into old wood, as lavender reshoots best from younger stems. Water sparingly once established and avoid overfeeding, which can cause soft growth. A light application of slow release fertiliser in spring supports strong seasonal flowering.
