Planting & Care Guide

Position: Prefers full sun and a warm, sheltered location. Ideal for borders, banks, rockeries, or containers placed in sunny spots.

Soil: Requires free-draining soil—chalky, sandy, or loamy—with a neutral to alkaline pH. Avoid heavy, wet soils that may cause root rot.

Watering: Water well until established, then only occasionally during prolonged dry periods. Overwatering should be avoided.

Maintenance:

• Trim lightly after flowering to maintain a compact shape, but avoid cutting into old wood.

• In early spring, remove any dead or winter-damaged growth to rejuvenate the plant.

• Replace older plants every few years if they become woody or sparse in the centre.

Perfect Plant Combinations

Lavender ‘Romance White’ shines when planted alongside soft, pastel perennials like Nepeta, Salvia nemorosa, or Gaura, where its white blooms offer a cooling contrast. Pair it with silver-leaved companions such as Artemisia, Stachys byzantina, or Eryngium for a harmonious Mediterranean palette. In containers, mix with low-growing herbs like Thyme or Oregano, or set against Buxus or Euonymus ‘Green Spire’ for a formal look softened by fragrance and movement.
