How to Grow
Start Lavender 'Munstead Dwarf' seeds indoors from February to May or September to October in a warm, bright spot using fine seed compost. This compact perennial thrives in sunny, free-draining conditions, making it excellent for containers, balconies, and garden beds.
Sowing
Sow the seeds thinly on the surface of moist, well-drained seed compost and lightly cover with compost or vermiculite. Keep the seeds warm and bright to encourage germination, which can be slow and uneven.
Growing
Once seedlings are large enough, pot them on individually into 20 cm pots and grow them on in full sun. Harden off the plants before planting outdoors after the last frost, spacing them to allow airflow and accommodate their 0.5 m height and 1 m spread.
Plant care
Water sparingly once established, allowing the soil to dry out between watering, as Lavender 'Munstead Dwarf' prefers poorer soils. Lightly trim after flowering during the growing months of June to October to maintain a compact shape, avoiding cutting into old woody growth.
