When Does Lavender Bloom? A Detailed Guide to Its Flowering Period

1. Flowering Time

It usually blooms from June to August. If the place where it is grown in summer is cooler, it will produce many flowers, and with good care its flowering period can last even longer.

2. Care During the Flowering Period

1. Water appropriately

It likes cool places, and the potting soil is best kept on the dry side, so it should not be watered too much. The specific watering time can be determined by how dry the potting soil is: water when it is dry, and do not water when it is not dry. When watering, be careful not to get water on the leaves, to avoid disease.

2. Plenty of light

It very much likes to enjoy light, as this lets it grow better, so try to keep it in a spot with plenty of light, but do not expose it to harsh sun.

3. Suitable temperature

It can tolerate not only low temperatures but also high temperatures, but they must not exceed 40 degrees. Its generally most suitable growing temperature is between 26 and 32 degrees.

4. Supplement with fertilizer

Many plants cannot be fertilized during their flowering period, but lavender can. When it is blooming, you can apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to increase the amount of bloom and supplement nutrients, but do not apply nitrogen fertilizer, to prevent the plant from growing excessively.

5. Prune the branches

During its flowering period, the branches should be pruned appropriately, mainly cutting off those branches with poor growth and few flowers, so that the other thick, strong branches can obtain more nutrients and bloom more.
