How to maintain your Lavandula Ice Berg once established?
How to maintain your Lavandula Ice Berg once established?
Water regularly while plants establish.
Once established, Iceberg Lavender is highly drought tolerant and generally only requires watering during prolonged dry periods.
Overwatering is one of the most common causes of poor lavender performance.
Lavender prefers relatively lean soils and rarely requires heavy feeding.
For best results:
Apply a light dressing of compost in spring.
Use a low-nitrogen fertiliser if required.
Avoid excessive fertiliser, which can reduce flowering and produce soft growth.
Regular pruning is important to maintain a compact, long-lived plant.
After Flowering
Remove spent flower stems.
Trim back approximately one-third of the season's growth.
Maintain a rounded shape.
Important
Avoid cutting into old woody stems with no green growth, as lavender often struggles to regenerate from old wood.
Use gravel or decorative stone mulch around plants rather than moisture-retaining organic mulches.
This helps:
Improve drainage
Reflect heat onto the plant
Reduce crown rot risk
