Perfect For
Blue Spear is an excellent choice for gardeners who want dramatic flowers without growing a large lavender shrub. Its compact size makes it perfect along walkways, patio containers, raised beds, and formal borders while still producing impressive flower spikes.
Its long-lasting blooms also make it an outstanding choice for fresh bouquets, drying, and fragrant sachets.
How to Plant Blue Spear Lavender
Choose a location receiving at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily.
Excellent drainage is essential. Lavender performs best in sandy or gravelly soil and should never sit in standing water, particularly during winter.
Plant with the crown slightly above the surrounding soil and avoid burying the woody stems. Raised beds and gentle slopes help improve winter survival.
Space plants approximately 15 to 18 inches apart to allow good air circulation while creating a full border as the plants mature.
Watering
Water regularly during establishment. Once established, water deeply but only when the soil becomes dry. Blue Spear is drought tolerant once mature and performs best when not overwatered.
Pruning
Prune lightly after flowering or in early spring as new growth begins. Remove spent flower stems and shape the plant without cutting into old woody stems.
