What Is An Silver lavender plant ?

Silver Mist Lavender is a dense multi-stemmed evergreen shrub with a mounded form. It lends an extremely fine and delicate texture to the landscape composition which should be used to full effect. This is a relatively low maintenance shrub, and can be pruned at anytime.

What Are The Different Types Of Silver lavender Plants?

Lavandula angustifolia 'Hidcote': This variety has silvery-gray foliage and deep purple flowers, known for its strong fragrance and compact growth habit.

Lavandula angustifolia 'Munstead': Another variety with silver-gray foliage, 'Munstead' has lavender-blue flowers and is known for its hardiness and aromatic properties.

Lavandula stoechas 'Silver Anouk': While not a true lavender (it's a French lavender), 'Silver Anouk' has silvery-gray foliage and purple flowers topped with light purple bracts.

Location 

Lavender is prized for its richly fragrant flowers and aromatic foliage. This easy-to-grow shrub thrives in a sunny spot, in free-draining soil or a container.

Sunshine 

First, find a spot that can offer six or more hours of direct sunlight per day – lavender doesn't like shade, so full sun is key. Next, make sure that spot is suitable for your plants. Lavender requires lots of drainage, so opt for rock gardens or other well-draining garden beds.

Soil

This plant grows best in loamy and sandy soils. 'Silver Falls' also can grow in regular potting soil with your other container plants, as long as it is well-drained and not overly moist.

Hydration 

Water once or twice a week after planting until plants are established. Water mature plants every 2 to 3 weeks until buds form, then once or twice weekly until harvest. (Yellowing leaves are often a sign of overwatering.)

Nourishment 

A soil that is too rich in nutrients leads to rapid growth of lavender and has a negative effect on the abundance of flowers and aroma of the plant Therefore when fertilizing lavender, you should preferably use a low nitrogen and rather alkaline fertilizer

Issues 

Lavender plants are likely to suffer from root rot if often overwatered, and if the soil drainage is particularly poor around them. You can prevent this by ensuring you plant Lavender hedges and shrubs in full sun and well-drained soil. Lavender almost thrive on neglect.

Benifits 

Lavender may help improve sleep, treat skin blemishes, relieve pain, reduce blood pressure, lessen menopausal hot flashes, combat fungus growth, and potentially promote hair growth.
