What time of the season is the most advantageous for planting lavender plants?

Lavender should be planted in the early spring when the soil is warming up. This occurs in April or May for most areas. The plant is fairly drought-tolerant once it has been established.

Lavender plants should be spaced 3 feet apart, unless the lavender is being grown as a hedge. In this case, the gardener should space the lavender plants from 1 foot to 18 inches apart. Lavender does well in poor or moderately fertile soil and should be planted in full sun. The plant prefers well-drained soil. Alternatively, lavender can be grown in large pots if the soil in the area is not well drained.
