Can lavender be grown in the north?

Lavender can be grown in the north, but it is best to plant it in a place with plenty of sunlight. The plant is not very demanding on the soil and is resistant to barrenness and salinity. It can safely survive the winter in the north with a little covering.

Lavender is native to the Mediterranean coastal areas. The plant has strong adaptability to the environment and prefers a warm, humid, well-lit climate. Its main producing areas include Italy, France, Morocco, Australia and other regions.

How to grow lavender in the north

1. Soil: Lavender likes fertile, fluffy, weakly alkaline soil, and has relatively high requirements for the soil. During normal maintenance, you can use a mixture of perlite, vermiculite, and peat moss.

2. Light: Lavender likes to bask in the sun, but is afraid of strong light. During normal maintenance, the plant should not be exposed to direct sunlight for a long time. This will not only fail to promote the growth of the plant, but may also sunburn the plant.

3. Temperature: The suitable temperature for lavender growth is about 20℃. It needs to be given a suitable temperature during maintenance. The temperature in winter cannot be lower than 10℃. If the temperature is too low, it will easily slow down the growth rate of the plant and also frostbite the plant.
