Honey Bees Love the Colorful and Fragrant Lavender
Why Lavender Standards?
Imagine effortless versatility and adaptability – with the Lavender Standard, it’s simple. Whether you plant this landscape star in a raised garden bed or larger container, it shines with color, fragrance and more.
Purple hues and honey bee pollination equal beauty and ease. Showy blooms stand out on this unique topiary, which finds its origins in Spain (meaning even more eye-catching perks and hassle-free care for you).
But the best part of the Lavender Standard Topiary is its ability as a proven performer. No matter where it’s planted, from patio to deck and beyond, it does its job. That’s because it’s been nurtured and monitored since day one, shipped with care, and selected by experts. The extra work has been completed so you get results when the Lavender arrives to your door.
So, you’ll reap the rewards, month to month and year over year. There’s nothing like the promise of great looks and no-nonsense maintenance, right in your landscape.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: It’s super easy to maintain: Pollinated by honey bees, pet safe (as long as your pets don’t eat it), and relatively fast-growing, gaining 24 to 30 inches in one growing season. But your Lavender Standard needs proper care!
Start by selecting a location with full sun (at least 6 hours of sun per day) and well-drained soil. Then, dig a hole that’s at least two or three times wider than your plant’s root ball. Once you’ve placed your plant, back fill its soil, tamp down to avoid air pockets and lastly, water to help establish its roots.
2. Watering: Simply water your Lavender Standard as the weather dictates – and allow any water to drain so that your roots do not become oversaturated. As long as soil is well-drained (but not overdry), your Lavender Standard should thrive.
If you’re not sure when to water your plant, however, simply check its surrounding soil, down to around 2 or 3 inches. If you feel that the soil is dry, it’s time to water to moistness.
