How to grow Lavender 'Violet Blue' in NZ

Lavender 'Violet Blue' performs best in full sun and free draining soil to encourage strong flowering and healthy growth. Choose a warm, open site that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. Avoid heavy or waterlogged soils, as lavender prefers dry, airy conditions. Water young plants regularly, then reduce watering once established. This variety performs reliably in both coastal and inland gardens across New Zealand.

Lavender 'Violet Blue' care tips

Caring for Lavender 'Violet Blue' is simple and low maintenance. Trim lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage fresh new growth. Avoid cutting back into older woody stems, which reshoot poorly. Once established, water sparingly and avoid heavy fertilisers that soften growth. A slow release fertiliser in spring supports repeat blooming and strong colour.
