Lavender: much more than just a garden plant!
Lavender: much more than just a garden plant!
Nothing structures a path, the foot of a wall, or a terrace better than a row of well-aligned lavenders!

The idea: Create a low hedge (30 to 50 cm high) that releases its scent as you pass by. To achieve this, three conditions must be met:
 
  • Full sun: Give it the warmest and sunniest spot in your garden.
 
  • 'Poor' soil: No need to buy enriched potting soil or use fertilizer. It likes stony and limestone soils. If your soil is too rich, it will produce many leaves but few flowers.
 
  • Drainage: It hates having 'wet feet' in winter. When planting, place a bed of gravel at the bottom of the hole or pot.
