**Care Instructions:**
1. **Planting:** Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Transplant the plug plants into the garden or containers once the threat of frost has passed. Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for adequate airflow and room to grow.
2. **Soil Preparation:** Lavender thrives in lean, well-drained soil with a slightly alkaline pH. Amend heavy clay or compacted soil with sand or gravel to improve drainage. Avoid rich, fertile soils, as they can cause the plants to become leggy and prone to disease.
3. **Watering:** Water newly planted plugs thoroughly to settle the roots into the soil, then water sparingly as needed to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Once established, Lavender Munstead is drought-tolerant and prefers drier conditions. Water deeply during prolonged dry spells.
4. **Pruning:** Trim spent flower spikes once they have finished blooming to encourage new growth and prolong the flowering period. Additionally, prune back the plants lightly in spring to maintain a compact and tidy appearance.
5. **Fertilizing:** Lavender is a light feeder and typically does not require frequent fertilization. Apply a balanced fertilizer sparingly in spring if necessary, but avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, which can promote excessive leaf growth at the expense of flowers.
6. **Mulching:** Apply a thin layer of gravel or grit around the base of the plants to suppress weeds, conserve moisture, and keep the foliage dry. Avoid organic mulches, as they can trap moisture and lead to root rot.
7. **Winter Care:** Lavender Munstead is hardy in most regions but may benefit from additional protection in harsh winter climates. Mulch around the base of the plants with straw or evergreen boughs to insulate the roots from freezing temperatures.
8. **Propagation:** Lavender can be propagated from cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Select healthy, non-flowering shoots and root them in a well-drained potting mix. Keep the cuttings moist and provide bottom heat for faster rooting.
