Lavender Growing Tips from Sauvie Island Lavender Farm

Sauvie Island Lavender Farm

Exquisite Lavender Products & Plants Especially for You

It is time to begin thinking about what needs to be done in the garden and flower beds in just a few short weeks.  Here are a few tips for what you can do with lavender this spring.

Trimming Lavender

Lavender needs a good cut at least once a year.  I prefer to trim 1/3 to 2/3 of the lavender foliage back in the fall and shape into a nice mound.  If you have lavender in your garden and didn’t get around to it last fall don’t worry.  Do it in the early spring when the threat of frost is past us.

Planting Lavender

Spring is also a great time to get new lavender plants in the ground.  Be sure you plant lavender in an area that gets full sun and has good drainage.  Lavender is a desert plant and cannot tolerate persistently wet roots.  Soil pH should be in the 6.5 to 7.5 range.

Where to Buy Lavender

At Sauvie Island Lavender Farm of course!  We will be open for the season May 1st.  Just give Julie a call you would like to buy plants in March or April.  Special orders are welcome and weekend pickups can be scheduled.

New Hours at Sauvie Island Lavender Farm

Due to an increase in demand we will be open an extra month this year and extra days in the spring and fall.  So when you come out to get your fall produce and pumpkins from the island’s farm markets, stop by the lavender farm too.  Our new hours are:  May through October from 10am-5pm Tuesday thorough Sunday.
