As spring and summer rolls on, blooming lavender plants are a common sight in backyard borders and pots. I know of no person, gardener or otherwise, who dislikes this flowering herb. Lavender flowers perfume the air for much of the growing season, and what's more, they are loved by pollinators.
While you may already be confident in terms of how to grow lavender, have you wondered whether or not you should fertilize lavender plants? As with watering lavender, it is good to know the right approach for this cherished herb. Over-watering lavender can damage the plant, and unnecessary fertilizing is much the same. Often, when gardeners think they are tending and nurturing their prized plants, too much love and attention can be a bad thing.
