Maintenance Tips for Lavandula stoechas 'Fairy Wings Purple'

Caring for Lavandula stoechas 'Fairy Wings Purple' ensures healthy growth and prolific flowering. Follow these maintenance tips to cultivate a thriving lavender plant:

  • Planting Location: Choose a sunny site with well-drained soil. 'Fairy Wings Purple' thrives in full sun, which enhances flower production and fragrance.
  • Soil: Prefers sandy or gravelly soils with good drainage. Amend heavy soils with organic matter or sand to improve drainage.
  • Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Once established, reduce watering frequency, as lavender is drought-tolerant.
  • Fertilizing: Minimal feeding is required. Apply a light application of a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring if necessary.
  • Pruning: Prune annually after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushy growth. Cut back about one-third of the plant, avoiding cutting into old wood.
  • Pest and Disease Management: Generally pest-resistant, but watch for root rot in poorly drained soils. Ensure proper spacing for air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
  • Winter Care: In colder climates, provide winter protection by mulching around the base of the plant. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot during wet winters.
