Planting a

For optimal growth, provide well-draining soil to avoid waterlogging. Lavender, such as 'Hidcote Blue', tolerates slightly alkaline to neutral pH, but prefers slightly alkaline conditions. If necessary, add lime to raise the pH level. Prepare the planting area by loosening the soil to a depth of 12 inches, and improve its structure and fertility by adding organic matter like compost or aged manure. Clear the area of any weeds or debris. When planting, dig a hole slightly bigger than the plant's root ball. Carefully remove the plant from its container and untangle any tightly bound roots. Place the plant in the hole, making sure the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Gently fill the hole with soil and lightly press it around the plant's base. After planting, water thoroughly to help the soil settle and promote strong root-to-soil contact.
