Lavender 'Dwarf Blue'

Lavandula angustifolia 'Dwarf Blue'

Growth Characteristics:

Lavandula angustifolia 'Dwarf Blue' is a relatively small shrub, generally growing to a height of 30–45 cm. The stems are straight, and the leaves are silvery-gray, narrow, and elongated. It blooms with purple or blue flowers in the summer, emitting a very strong and refreshing fragrance.

Propagation Methods:

Lavender can primarily be propagated by seeds, cuttings, or division. For cuttings, branches are cut in spring or early summer and placed in water to encourage rooting. Division is possible in early spring or late autumn.

Cultivation Methods:

Lavender thrives in sunny locations and prefers well-drained soil. Overly wet environments should be avoided, and it is best to wait until the soil dries out before watering. Fertilizer is generally not required in large quantities, but a small amount of organic fertilizer can be applied in the spring if necessary.

 Garden Use:

'Dwarf Blue' makes an excellent border plant in the garden and is suitable for planting in low hedges or flower beds. Its pleasant fragrance and beautiful flowers make it suitable for herb gardens or scented gardens. It is also a plant that attracts bees and butterflies.

Important Pests and Control Methods:

Lavender is a relatively pest-resistant plant, but it can occasionally be affected by aphids or root rot. Aphids can generally be removed by hand or washed off with water, and insecticides can be used if necessary. Root rot is prone to occur under overly wet conditions, so it is important to pay attention to drainage and manage watering.
