Beschreibung

Lavender is a compact semi-shrub that belongs to the labiates family. Its needle-shaped leaves are gray-green. The perennial has spike-like flowers that bear white or pink to blue-violet small flowers, depending on the variety. The flowers emit a pleasant spicy fragrance that attracts many bees and butterflies. The semi-shrub grows to a height of about 60 cm. Although it occurs naturally on dry warm slopes, there are some hardy varieties.

Anbautipps

Lavender is a heat-loving semi-shrub. Therefore, it likes to stand in a sunny, warm place. It prefers a nutrient-poor soil that is well-drained and does not get wet, especially in winter. If the soil is too wet, the lavender can freeze. To ensure that the half-shrub blooms beautifully every year, you must cut it back regularly. To do this, cut off the withered stems in the fall. The second pruning is done in spring. Here, old woody parts are removed. Otherwise, lavender is very low-maintenance and unpretentious.
