The plant may look tired, wilted, or stressed from being in a dark box during shipping. This is normal and does not mean the plant is dead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1922\" data-end=\"2132\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eCarefully remove the plant from the package and check the soil moisture. If the soil is very dry, water it gently. If the soil is already moist, do not soak it again. Lavender does not like sitting in wet soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2134\" data-end=\"2390\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePlace the plant in a shaded, protected area for about \u003cstrong data-start=\"2188\" data-end=\"2203\"\u003e2 to 3 days\u003c\/strong\u003e after arrival.

Choose a location that gets at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day. The more sun it receives, the better the growth, scent, and flowering will be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2731\" data-end=\"2993\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eLavender does not like heavy, wet, or soggy soil. If your soil is clay-heavy, plant it in a raised bed, mound, container, or well-drained area. Mixing in sand, gravel, compost, or aged organic matter can help improve drainage, but avoid making the soil too rich.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2995\" data-end=\"3196\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eDig a hole slightly larger than the root ball. Place the plant so the soil level in the pot matches the soil level in the ground.

Keep the crown of the plant above soggy soil and avoid piling mulch directly against the stem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3326\" data-end=\"3467\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eFor the first couple of weeks, water lightly as needed while the plant gets established.

It does best in soil that drains quickly and does not stay wet. Overwatering is one of the biggest problems with lavender.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3689\" data-end=\"3838\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWater during dry spells, especially the first year, but do not keep the soil constantly wet.

Rich soil and too much nitrogen can cause weak growth and fewer flowers. Lavender grows best when it is not overly pampered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3990\" data-end=\"4256\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePrune lightly after flowering to keep the plant full and shaped. Do not cut deeply into old woody stems with no green growth, as lavender may not regrow well from old wood. A good rule is to trim back the soft green growth while leaving healthy foliage on the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4258\" data-end=\"4380\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eIn winter, lavender appreciates good drainage even more.
