Spanish Lavenders - Wealth, Spirituality, and Royalty

Purple color represents wealth, spirituality, and royalty. I always love purple color flowers; especially it looks gorgeous in the front yard. Did you notice purple flower plants sometimes are more expensive than yellow one, and you can easily find yellow flowers in the nursery compared to the purple one? These Spanish Lavenders are a great buy, because I got them from Lowe's during the dollar sale, and they produce generous blooms. The most important is they perennials, I enjoy their long lasting blooms, and hope you will enjoy them too.

Spanish Lavender, Lavandula Stoechas ‘Otto Quast’

Spanish lavenders don't mind acid soils, light watering will encourage root to establish during the first year. After a year, water it once a week until it is over 100º, then water them more frequently. Don't mulch the trunk, use pebbles/ small garden rocks to replace mulch. Test the soil for dryness down to a depth of at least an inch. Spanish lavenders love the radiant heat, bloom during summer, trim off the dead blooms as it will help shape the bush and encourage new growth/ blooms.
