Plant Features

Lavandula angustifolia 'Munstead', or Munstead Lavender, is a classic and beloved variety of English Lavender that adds charm and fragrance to any garden. This compact cultivar features soft lavender-blue flower spikes that rise above aromatic, gray-green foliage, creating a soothing and attractive display. Typically growing to a height of 12-18 inches and spreading 18-24 inches, Munstead Lavender is perfect for edging, low hedges, rock gardens, and container plantings.

One of the most appealing aspects of Munstead Lavender is its ability to attract a wide range of pollinators, particularly bees and butterflies, making it an excellent choice for gardeners looking to support local wildlife. The plant's sweet, calming fragrance is not only pleasing to humans but also acts as a natural deterrent to deer and rabbits, adding to its practicality in the garden.

When it comes to cultivation, Munstead Lavender is prized for its adaptability and low-maintenance nature. It thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, tolerating a range of soil types as long as they're not waterlogged. Once established, it demonstrates good drought tolerance and requires minimal care. To maintain its compact shape and encourage reblooming, it's recommended to prune lightly after the first flowering and more heavily in early spring.

Companion planting can enhance the beauty and effectiveness of Munstead Lavender in the garden. Consider pairing it with other sun-loving, drought-tolerant plants that complement its color and texture. Some excellent companions include Echinacea (Coneflowers), Salvia, Sedum, ornamental grasses, Rosemary, and roses for a classic cottage garden or Mediterranean-inspired look.

At GrowJoy, we cultivate our Munstead Lavender plants without harmful pesticides, ensuring they're safe for your garden and the pollinators they attract. Each plant is carefully nurtured to develop a strong root system, allowing it to establish quickly and thrive once planted. We guarantee that every Munstead Lavender plant will arrive in excellent condition, ready to bring its soft color, soothing fragrance, and timeless appeal to your garden.

Planting Instructions:

- Space plants 18-24 inches apart to allow for mature spread and airflow

Soil Preparation:

- Ideal soil pH: 6.5-7.5, prefers well-drained, alkaline soil
- Amend soil with gravel or sand to improve drainage if necessary

Watering Specifics:

- Water once or twice a week after planting until plants are established
- Mature plants require minimal water, making them suitable for xeriscaping

Fertilizer Type:

- Generally does not require fertilizer; excessive nutrients can decrease oil quality and fragrance

Pruning and Training:

- Prune in early spring or after flowering to shape the plants and encourage new growth
- Remove old, woody stems to maintain health and appearance

Additional Pest Management:

- Lavender is generally pest-resistant but watch for fungal issues in humid conditions
- Promote good air circulation and avoid overhead watering to prevent disease

Temperature Tolerance:

- Protect from harsh winter winds and wet conditions to prevent root rot

Still Thriving

I bought the Munstead Lavender plant about 2 years ago, and it's kept on the patio. Full sun, still thriving, no flowers yet, but I'm patient. 😏

From Chere L | April 08, 2024

Healthy

My plants arrived healthy and were nicely packaged. They are small but are doing well since transplanted. I am very happy with my purchase.

Lavender

Plant was tiny but it is looking settled in its new home next to pink roses. Hoping to see the blooms soon

From Habiba | April 21, 2021

Lavender packaged nicely

Best packaging ever! Unfortunately shipping was a little difficult on it. Leaves had turned on some of them. Plant, however, was healthy and growing nicely. Not sure what I'd offer as an alternative shipping because they all can be a little rough.

Live plant purchase

Since my purchase were starter plants I can’t provide a picture showing a blooming plant. However, I can tell you that the plants were very well preserved and packaged carefully. They arrived in great condition and are thriving. I will continue to purchase from this company.
