How to Grow Lavender in Pots / Containers

Published 2023-01-11
Yes, it might be winter in England at the time of posting this video, but here’s a little video I filmed in the summer, showing you how to plant lavender in pots. Now I’m sharing it with you all for the first time. This is a job you can do anytime of the year. So, sit back and enjoy my tutorial :)

    Great video! Leaving it in the pot to premeasure hole is genius. Thank you! 👍🇺🇸
  • Deine Video hat mir sehr gut 👍🏽 gefallen, Super!Du hast uns gezeigt wie wie man Blumen einsetzt. Ich habe habe es falsch gemacht. So wie du machst ist viel leichter. Von den Video habe ich viel gelernt! Danke Dir!
  • Extremely helpful instructions. I may have to translate the soil components into what's sold in US markets though thankfully your descriptions were specific and clear. I want to grow lavender and other pollinator magnets because we can't have horticulture or agriculture without pollinators.

    Thankyou Darren! What a lovely video, you brought warmth and beauty to a cold January day. I could almost smell the lavendar.

    Great video thanks. Do you have a video of what they are like this year?
  • I would like to remind all that if you are planning on leaving pots outdoors in the winter the plant must be zoned safe 2 zones colder than your area. So if you are zoned 6 like I am you will need a plant zoned for zone 4. Or you can bury the pot in a raised bed over the winter.
  • Hi Darren, when do you prune your lavender and do you cut it back hard? Also, reading Monty Don's book and he leaves his shrub roses really tall,( sometimes uses a hedge trimmer) ,he says they flower just as well as any other pruning method. Interesting 🤔 🍀🌻🌼
  • Hi, nice video. How do you think a pot of lavender would do on a small West facing balcony, 14 floors up, close to the sea front in South east essex UK. Thank you.

    Do you water the lavender after you pot it? Many thanks!
  • @lovelysxl
    Can I use perlite with the potting soil? Will that provide adequate drainage?
  • I would like to order the supplies on line. What is the name of the soil compost and grit?

    I’ve recently discovered Lavender—I enjoy its fragrance but never thought I could grow it. Your video gives me hope! Any chance you can show the progress your featured potted Lavender is doing a year later? Thank you! Excellent video.
