How to grow Lavender 'Blue Mountain'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Blue Mountain is generally regarded as a hardy plant, so it can be safe to leave outdoors for the majority of winter (although if in doubt, using a row cover is often a good idea). Blue Mountain needs a sandy, loamy and silty soil with a ph of 6.1 to 8.5 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Growing Blue Mountain from seed

Aim to sow 0.23 inches (0.6 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 1.95 inches (5.0 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 15°C / 59°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Blue Mountain about 1 days after your last frost date.

Transplanting Blue Mountain

Blue Mountain is hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
