Lavender, that quintessential Mediterranean plant, is not only fragrant and appealing to the olfactory sense but is very useful too. Did you know that this attractive ornamental plant does well in containers? It thrives as long as the soil mix & other conditions are to its liking. Here are things you need to know about planting lavender in pots so yours can grow successfully.
This is focused on planting lavender in pots to grow outside. If you want to bring yours indoors for the winter, I touch briefly on that towards the end of the post. MORE DETAILS IN THE POST: www.joyusgarden.com/planting-...

Thanks angel
Thanks, hero!
Hi Nell,
hope you are safe and healthy!
Let me contribute to your video my central European experience of growing lavender: I also use a chunky, well-drained potting mix (a succulent and cactus mix works fine here in Germany), probably 50% potting soil, 25% horticultural sand and 25% grit. But as you suggested I would not add compost in my climate.
Like you, I also pot lavender up in large containers, probably rather tall than wide (pretty much the type of pots that I use for roses) so as to give the root system some space to reach down into the soil.
I never fertilize my lavender. And I water my plants with hard tap water.
Here in Germany you wouldn't have much of a chance of growing lavender indoors. Even outdoors you want to give the plant a southern or southwestern exposure, or else you won't get lavender to bloom.
And here in Germany you want to pot lavender up in March or at the beginning of April at the latest, because our summers are so much shorter than Arizona summers.
Nell, stay safe and have a Corona-free summer. Best wishes from Berlin to the Arizona desert.
Marc
Thank you Marc! I'm always interested in how plants do in different regions & included alternate mixes in the post. Also in the post are 2 pictures of lavender in tall pots which you can see here: www.joyusgarden.com/planting-lavender-in-pots/ I never fertilized lavender either. In CA I planted lavender in early spring also. We're having a very hot, dry summer (there's a big wildfire burning in Tucson now) so we'll see how this lavender does. Gardening is all about experimenting which is why I planted a dwarf variety. I hope you are staying safe also! Cheers from the desert,
Nell

Hi Staci ,
Welcome to good ole Germany. Hope you like it here and you're meeting lots of nice people.
Your question is somewhat vague, but I'll try an answer anyway. It may be somewhat vague, too.
My favorite all-purpose potting mix is Floragard Vielseitig. It's peatfree (torffrei) and available at Bauhaus (DIY store).
If you want to be growing succulents and cacti, you want to add horticultural sand (Rasensand), also available at Bauhaus, and a gritty mix, available at Pflanzen-Kòlle.
If you are into mineral mixes, you may try growing your plants in Seramis clay pebbles. Seramis is available all over the place, since it is used by billions of Germans and Europeans.
Seramis also offers great mixes for orchids and other epiphytes and for succulents and cacti. I love Seramis, because my plants love it.
A great fertilizer is Compo Complete, available at Amazon and most garden centers.
If you have further questions, feel free to ask.
I hope this is helpful.
Staci, stay safe! Happy gardening!
Marc
I have just received, as a gift, a lavender plant called 'Provence' - so I'm glad to find your site.
I discovered your channel a few weeks ago when I got into gardening at the beginning of quarantine and you give such great information! You’re an amazing teacher, Nell!! I’ve seen videos of yours from years back and I can always count on you for sound advice for my new plants. Thank you for all your help!!
Google recommended your video to me! I'm so glad I watched! You are absolutely adorable. Thank you for posting!
Greetings from Canada! Really enjoyed watching this video. Thank you!
Hi! My lavender is drying while the soil is wet and after watching your video I see that the type of soil I used (only potting soil) is the culprit! Would you it be ok, to use a cactus soil instead of doing all the mixing you did? Thanks!!
Love your videos, Nell! So helpful. You're such a lovely spirit!
I have no idea what kind of lavender I got from my store. next time I'll have to pay better attention. I'm a baby at houseplants and I bought two of them!
Lots of helpful tips, thank you
I love lavender 💜🌿
Me too! The scent of it on a warm evening is magical. Nell
Your lavender looks so great in that pot! So beautiful. Thanks for the awesome tips!
Hi! I just found your channel and I am learning so much. Thanks so much 😃👍🏻
I live in the same area so this was super helpful!
Another fantastic video! Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure Melissa, & thank you! Nell
Home depot doesn't seem to carry these pumice pebbles. Where else can I find them
@synthesizemeil. Try googling aqua culture sites, Companies that specialize in growing using only nutrient-rich water as a medium. They have things like clay pebbles for sale. Pumice comes from volcanic dust. Azomite, maybe. But that volcanic dust has nutrients in it, so I’m not too sure. If you use mixes that have the other things mentioned in different comments, you may not need pumice at all.
That's a gorgeous Lavender plant. Should have a close up look at the plant 😃
Great video! Going to give this a try. I found the soil mixture to be very insightful, thank you!
Thanks for the advice on the use of compost. I live in a tropical humid climate in Asia and I thought compost was always a good thing for plants especially when I was determined to have it flower. Its stem eventually turned woody after a few months and I had to give it up. We get a lot of monsoon rain here so growing lavender in a container seems the only way to keep it away from root rot. I used a lot of perlite and a some coco peat in my next lavender. So far it's growing nicely but keeping my fingers crossed.
Great video! I have been looking for pointers for planting lavender in super hot climate!
I love the pot! 🥰
Learned about clay pellets and that was interesting, hadn't heard of them before. Thank you.
Nice to see you keep growing
I always have something growing velvet Satin! Nell
Great video !
Hi, I have a quick question. Does the planter need to have a drainage hole or can that be accomplished with rocks and such. I am in a south central area in NC. Thanks for any advice
Beautiful plant!
Love the dwarf lavenders! Nell
Thanks this video help alot
Thanks so much Nell, I bought some lavender in pots a couple of years ago and they were so cute but i didn't really know the care of them and thought I could leaves them outside during the winter and they would come back, but I was wrong, if I would have had my green house I could have wintered them in there, they died and I just haven't bothered getting anymore, but this year I'm feeling a little braver and might try again thanks to you giving me some inspiration, you live in a much warmer climate than I do, I live in Idaho and we have some pretty harsh winters, so it will be interesting to see how they do. I look forward to your next video, thanks so much for always having such great videos on plant care. Have a great weekend, sending love and hugs, bye for now.
I used to plant mine in my garden (in the ground) when I lived in Virginia and they looked dead during the winter, but came back every year. They grew huge compared to the size they were when I bought them. It would snow in Virginia and they did just fine.
@@Iris-gy2mi Yes - thanks for sharing. The English varieties tend to be hardier than the French & Spanish. Nell
Holly - You're so welcome! Idaho is beautiful & the winters are long & cold, that's for sure. I'd recommend 1 of the dwarf varieties like mine because they're easier to bring indoors for the winter. Just be sure to keep it on the dry side when overwintering indoors. Have a great week & hugs back to you! Nell
Holly, you need a different variety. I'm in Michigan and have a HUGE hidcote lavender that's been going strong for 4 years. Check your variety.
This was super helpful as I live in Phoenix. How did the plant do in the brutal summer last year? Also between ground vs pot - which option do you recommend?
Thanks for sharing...Can I use this mixture for sage and other herbs?
Hi Nell
this video was perfect timing, i am planning to buy a dwarf variety lavender to plant in a pot, but wasn't sure what pot would be the right size for it. thank you for solving that problem for me! also with all your other great tips how can i go wrong! cheers!
Hi Pat - You're so welcome! Lavender has a root system more on the shallow side so a smaller pot for a dwarf lavender is fine. Just make sure it drains well. And, be sure to read the blog post for more details! Cheers to you, Nell
This video is so helpful, thank you Nell. To Nell or anyone else: is it ok to use just one, pumice or clay pellets, or is it important to use both? Never have used these two amendments, only perlite. Does one do what the other cannot? Thanks!!
Aloha from Honolulu! I'm a fairly new plant addict, and I bought my lavender plant from Home Depot about 4 months ago in a 15 inch pot. It was doing very well in the beginning but now the leaves and flowers look very droopy and the a little dried out although I water the plant about every other day, and it gets about 4 hours of outdoor sun everyday. Should I perhaps transplant it to a new soil like the one you talked about in this video, as it's still in the original nursey pot and soil, and should I go up a pot size, too? Also, you used the term "deadhead", what does that mean? Mahalo for all your very informative videos!
Awesome❤ I’m in the Midwest and purchased close to dying lavender. Could I report them now…
Hi. I was going through your videos. And I noticed you didn't have any on Texas Sage. I just bought a Texas sage and I was just wondering if you could possibly help me out on the care for it, such as how to replant in a container, type of soil, certain pot. Etc. Thank you
I certainly learned more about lavender - thank you. In my English garden my lavender seed themselves in the pathway, so each year I have dozens of free little lavenders to pot up - now I know how to do it properly.
It sounds like you have someDoves 🕊In your background where are you that I got them outside somewhere I don’t know it thank you
How often do you water in pot
Hi Nell, I’m in Malaysia now, and miss my garden in Holland where I have gorgeous roses and lavender plants! I was surprised to find lavender here in the garden center near my condo, how do I maintain healthy growth with blooms as there are some budding in the plant I bought! It’s a tropical climate here with sun all year round and now we’re in the October-December monsoon season now with more rains... both my balconies are facing the hottest afternoon sunshine and has a side wall that provides some shade too... would appreciate your advice very much! Thank you in advance and stay safe 🙂🌺🌿
So many videos, sites suggest a measurement of 12-16 inches for a pot, but what is the unit--width, depth??? Please include units for clarity and at least two dimensions are appropriate please.
Bought myself a few lavender seedlings and this video helped me out with almost all of my questions. Btw, how many years does a lavender plant live?
I’ll be growing mine in pots so I can overwinter them indoors.
They can live 15-20 years if you take good care of them and cut them down each Spring:)
@@azpeach5680 When you say cut lavender down each spring, how far down do you cut them? I have a deer problem this year, and have read that deer do not like lavender. I have a vegetable garden I’m trying to protect. I am new to growing lavender.
@@libbyworkman1666 down to the woody area of the lavender plant. Then the new growth will develop as the new season goes:)
@@azpeach5680 Thank you so much. I will do it that way
can I use this same method to repot mini roses?
I thought I was supposed to cut off the flowers when I transplanted lavender......am I wrong to do that at the time of transplanting??
Hello very nice video I just bought a lavender plant today in Home Depot I leave on Vegas in a hot weather please any suggestions from you please I really appreciate thank you 😊
Is lavender fine in Arizona heat?
The lavendula patio tree I buy keeps drying and brown starting from the bottom until the entire tree is brown. At first I thought it was transplant shock so the second tree I didn’t touch it, minimal watering and placed it at the west facing balcony. With 100+ degrees here in Northern California it’s starting to brown at the bottom and drooping so....unclear why it seems fine at the store for weeks and immediately starts dying once on my balcony
How much gravel do I put in the pot please?
Do you fertilize your potted lavender plants and if so what do you use???
Can lavender grow in zone 10
What's the difference between lavender and lavenden ???
I bought two lavenders plants at the Lowe’s garden center. It was the Spanish Anouk lavender. I live in Mount Pleasant, SC which is a hot climate however it started getting cold so I left these lavender plants inside. The day a bottom the lady in the garden center was watering them so I waited two weeks to water them again. About five days later After watering them they started drooping. I never took them outside because the weather was getting cold. I bought the plants at the end of October and I kept them in a sunny spot in the house. I thought maybe that I had overwater them, and I tried to be very careful because I know they do not like a lot of water, so I took them out of their pots and set them in a metal container to see if I could revive them. They’re already turning gray is in the center and one is gray on one side. My question is am I going to be able to revive these lavenders? Are they just going into a dormant stage? They already have woody stems so I’m not sure if I can prune them back. They were some that Lowes had that look like little Christmas trees.
I live outside of Toronto and have lavender in pots and in ground and I can tell you from experience that lavender loves the cold and mine return winter after winter without any special care or covering. I put the potted ones in our unheated garage along with my potted hostas and they two start greening up in April as my garage has tiny windows at top where some light comes in. I don't think the cold would affect your lavender. I also water daily full sun locations. Were you able to revive them?
If u don’t have the other mixes besides multipurpose soil? Live on a small island. Lots of stones arounf
So how did it do ? It’s been two years since this video.
I like your video
I have a question ( not about lavander sorry) my flaiming sword flower has more than one head ( 6 heads) and the big main one started blooming but 2 of the others are not going good ( lil bit black on the tips) is that normal?
Oh no worries. Yes, the tips ar normal in home environments. It's commonly due to a lack of humidity. Nell
@@JoyUsGarden thanks and I found out that one of the flowers on the main head is dieing cos it has no sun is it safe to cut of a flower head and should I be seeing pups
Which climate do you prefe.....Arizona or California, and why?
Patti - It's very hot & dry here in Tucson at the moment so now I'd say the coast of CA. In the non-scorching months, I like it here just fine. My bank account is much happier in AZ so that plays a big part. Nell
How’s it doing ?
I bought a lavender kit so I don’t know it species
I just bought a beautiful topped lavender at Costco only to find it dying two days later! Pulled it out of the pot only to find massive root rot! Totally shite potting mix and can’t believe a so called reputable nursery would wholesale sell such trash!!🙏
First
Lady you talk to much just plant the lavender in the container please
🤣🤣
Really!
Get to the point!!!!!
It's always about extending the video...lol
so. you just talk to much. your context could be more structural
Blah blah blah..
Lets pot this plant.
No offence intended.
