Care in Perth
Perth’s Mediterranean climate suits lavender well, provided drainage is excellent.
- Position: Full sun, ideally 6+ hours of direct sunlight daily.
- Soil: Well-drained soil is essential. Avoid heavy, waterlogged areas.
- Planting: Improve clay or compacted soil with free-draining material and organic matter, while avoiding excessive moisture retention.
- Watering: Water regularly while establishing. Once established, allow the soil to dry slightly between watering.
- Summer: During Perth’s hot, dry summers, give deep watering when needed, particularly for plants grown in pots.
- Fertiliser: Use a light application of a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in spring. Avoid excessive feeding.
- Pruning: Lightly prune after flowering to maintain a compact, rounded shape. Avoid cutting deeply into old, woody stems.
- Pots: Excellent for containers when grown in a quality, free-draining potting mix with good drainage holes.
Landscaping Importance
Lavandula ‘Silver Princess’ is excellent for:
- Cottage and Mediterranean-style gardens
- Garden borders and pathways
- Low informal hedging
- Rockeries and dry-style gardens
- Pots and decorative containers
- Pollinator-friendly gardens
- Mass planting for colour and fragrance
- Adding silver foliage contrast around green-leaved plants
Its silver foliage and vivid pink-purple flowers create a strong visual contrast and can add colour to Perth gardens while remaining relatively water-wise once established.
