Growing and Using Lavender<\/h2>\n

Dr. Leonard Perry, Extension Professor <\/em>
\n University of Vermont<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Lavender flowers can be used in cooking, although its flowers are most often used in potpourri and as sachets, and the leaves distilled for their oils.\u00a0 Most are familiar with lavender through cosmetic products.\u00a0 Herbalists consider its oil one of the most important for therapeutic uses and healing, such as wounds and burns.\u00a0 Lavender oil scent is used for calming, and to induce sleep.\u00a0 Its first documented use was by the Romans in 77 A.D. for insect bites and to repel insects.<\/p>\n

In the landscape, this low plant is used for its gray-green to silvery leaves, or its flowers in July or August.\u00a0 Generally in shades of blue or purple, flowers of some selections are pink or white.\u00a0 Flowers contain lots of nectar, so are attractive to bees.\u00a0 Depending on the species and season, they may bloom from 4 to 8 weeks. Lavender is a low-care, low maintenance plant.<\/p>\n

\"Gardening,<\/a>Although it is a Mediterranean small shrub, termed \u201csubshrub\u201d, it can be grown in other climates as a tender perennial or even annual flower.\u00a0 Lavender (Lavandula<\/em>) can grow year round in a hot and dry climate like southern California and the arid Southwest, or even arid West.\u00a0 Most of the 15 or so species don\u2019t grow as well, nor are long-lived, in hot and humid climates such as the Southeast or Midwest.\u00a0 Exceptions for hot and humid climates are the Spanish lavender (L. stoechas<\/em>), and the French or fringed lavender (L. dentata<\/em>), hardy in only warmer zones (7-9) where temperatures stay above 10 degrees (F). These are often termed non-English types.<\/p>\n

The English lavenders (L. angustifolia<\/em>) generally are listed as hardy to USDA zone 5 (-10 to -20 degrees), although sometimes they may grow into a colder zone if sufficient reliable snow cover.\u00a0 Otherwise, protect these lavenders in these areas by straw or evergreen branches at least 3 to 4 inches deep.\u00a0 In warm climates with long seasons, such as the West, these may rebloom the same year.\u00a0 Some of the best and most popular English cultivars (cultivated varieties)\u00a0 include \u2018Munstead\u2019 (early, blue-purple flowers, to about 2-feet high) and \u2018Hidcote\u2019 (dark blue flowers, to about 18-inches high).\u00a0 \u2018Jean Davis\u2019 is an English lavender with light pink flowers.<\/p>\n

The third main group of lavender cultivars, the \u201clavandins\u201d, are a cross of the English species and the spike or Portuguese lavender (L. latifolia<\/em>).\u00a0 The latter grow into zone 5, but also are a great choice for hot climates.\u00a0 The lavandins (L. x intermedia<\/em>) generally are hardy, too, often into zone 5.\u00a0 They are grown commercially for their increased vigor, size, and higher oil content.\u00a0\u00a0 A couple of good ones to try are \u2018Grosso\u2019 (dark purple flowers, to about 30-inches high) and \u2018Provence\u2019 (purple flowers, more rot resistant, to about 2-feet high).\u00a0 \u2018Edelweiss\u2019 is a lavandin with white flowers.<\/p>\n

Lavender can be started from seeds, but the cultivars often will not \u201ccome true\u201d or have the same desired traits if grown from seeds, and seeds are difficult to germinate.\u00a0 Best is to buy lavender plants already started, and which your vendor knows are grown from cuttings.\u00a0 The lavandins have sterile seeds, so only can be grown from cuttings.<\/p>\n

If moving a plant, do so in spring, and make sure to get plenty of soil around the roots.\u00a0 In the north, it\u2019s best to plant in the spring so plants can establish during the summer.\u00a0 In hot climates, fall planting may be best.\u00a0 Give plenty of space, so air circulation can help reduce leaf disease. A spacing of 2- feet apart is good for most cultivars, or slightly more space for the larger lavandins.<\/p>\n

Lavender really needs full sun, and although they will tolerate drought once established, they bloom best if not allowed to dry out.\u00a0 Plants do require a well-drained soil, especially through winter, and grow well in rocky or sandy soils.\u00a0 They prefer a neutral pH soil, so if somewhat acidic you\u2019ll need to add lime (an Extension soil test will tell you how much to add).<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t overfertilize, as they perform best in lean soils.\u00a0 A side-dressing once a year of some compost may be sufficient, but plants don\u2019t like an overly organic soil either.\u00a0 You can fertilize a couple times during summer with\u00a0 liquid seaweed or fish emulsion.<\/p>\n

While we appreciate the fragrant, essential oils of lavender, pests, rabbits and deer don\u2019t, so plants are not bothered by them.\u00a0 The main problem can be fungal rots from too wet soil, or too humid a climate.<\/p>\n

\"Edelweiss\"<\/a>Plants will need some pruning, but only in spring after you see new growth.\u00a0 Only prune last year\u2019s growth back, leaving about an inch of this less woody growth, unless plants have been left for a while and become unsightly.\u00a0 In this case, prune stems back by about one-third, or take out any dead or quite old stems.\u00a0 You can cut them back lightly, shearing for shaping, right after flowering.<\/p>\n

Lavenders generally take 3 years to reach mature size and peak yield.\u00a0 Harvest lavender flowers just as they are beginning to open, in the morning, as this is when they have the highest oil content and scent.\u00a0 Cut the long stems, spread on a screen or trays, and let dry in the sun for several days.\u00a0 If rainy, place in a warm, dry location with good air movement.\u00a0 Or, you can hang bunches upside down.\u00a0 Bundle the dried stems for sachets, or strip flowers off stems to use in potpourri or even cooking.\u00a0 If harvesting stems to use fresh in vases, don\u2019t put in water as this makes the small florets drop and stems get mushy.<\/p>\n

Lavender flowers make nice toppings for desserts and ice cream, or mixed in with chocolate.\u00a0 Use them with thyme on roasted chicken.\u00a0 Mix some in with a honey mustard dressing for salads.\u00a0 Steep flowers with tea, or mix in with salt for flavor.<\/p>\n

In landscapes, use lavender along walks or near patios and stone walls where their scent can be appreciated, and where they can benefit from the reflected heat.\u00a0 They are perfect in herb gardens, and formal herb knot gardens, or sheared as a low hedge.\u00a0 Combine with roses, irises, clumping perennial geraniums, salvia, low sedum, or annual flowers such as cockscomb or portulaca.\u00a0 Make sure not to plant among perennials that will spread and overwhelm them.\u00a0 Keep your lavender weeded for the same reason, as they don\u2019t compete well with weeds.<\/p>\n

In cold or humid climates, they may best be grown as an annual in pots, or in pots that can be moved indoors overwinter in the North.\u00a0 This particularly applies to Spanish lavender or less hardy selections.\u00a0 Don\u2019t let plants drop below 40 degrees overnight if in pots under shelter over winter.\u00a0 If growing indoors over winter, place in a south-facing window with as much light as possible.<\/p>\n

Make sure pots have holes in the bottom so water can drain.\u00a0 Use a potting mix that drains well too.\u00a0 Some of the heavy loam, or peat moss-based, bagged potting mixes may stay too wet.\u00a0 One good potting mix for lavender contains equal parts by volume of soil, sand, perlite, and compost.\u00a0 Some add a few crushed egg shells to help keep a higher pH (alkaline soil) as they decompose.\u00a0 Fertilize sparingly.<\/p>\n

Containers allow lavender to be moved where it can most appreciated when in bloom.\u00a0 Since the roots like tight quarters, plant into a container only slight wider than the roots.\u00a0 If pots are too large, they may remain too wet.\u00a0 Clay pots will dry out quicker than plastic ones, so lead to less chance of overwatering and root rots.\u00a0 But as in the garden, don\u2019t let plants dry out too much.\u00a0 Repot yearly, and if plants get too large you may need to plant them in the garden or start over with young plants.<\/p>\n

Unless your climate is very humid or cold, you should be able to find some lavender plants at local nurseries that will survive.\u00a0 Give them full sun, and well-drained soils that aren\u2019t too acidic nor fertile, and prune lightly in spring, and they should thrive. In fact, most states and regions of North America now have at least a few commercial lavender growers from whom you can buy a range of products.<\/p>\n
