Somerset Lavender

These varieties like similar soil conditions to Lavandula Angustifolia although in the wild they will often grow in acid soil which they will tolerate better than their lime-loving cousins. They have such a long flowering period that it is difficult to know when to prune them, but generally September is a good time to cut them back by one third. If more flowers come, they can be dead-headed as and when required.

Our lavenders are three to four inches tall and are sold in 9cm pots. Some larger specimen plants are also available.
