When is the flowering season of lavender? Does lavender bloom all year round?

1. What month is the flowering period?

Lavender blooms in June. In some sunny and warm areas, it may bloom earlier, but generally not before May. June and July are its peak flowering period. The flowers begin to wither in August, and most of them have withered in September, with only a few remaining blooming until October. The length of the flowering period is not only related to the environment, but also closely related to daily maintenance.

2. Does it bloom in all seasons?

There are many varieties of lavender, and most varieties only bloom for one season, usually in June and July. But some varieties can bloom all year round, such as feather-leaved lavender. This plant is a horticultural variety. As long as the temperature is suitable, it can bloom all year round. The flowering period is usually concentrated from November to May, and the flowers tend to stop flowering and go dormant during the high temperatures in summer.

3. How to bloom

1. Adequate light: For any plant, light is helpful for flowering, and lavender is no exception. Ensuring sufficient light can allow flower buds to differentiate better, thereby promoting flowering of the plant. If the environment is too dark, it will grow too tall and not only will it fail to bloom, it will also look unsightly.

2. Appropriate fertilization: Lavender needs certain nutrients to bloom, so it is necessary to apply appropriate fertilizer. Fertilizers usually chosen are phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, which can promote flowering. The amount of nitrogen fertilizer used must also be controlled during the growth process, otherwise it will also affect the flowering of the plant.

3. Suitable temperature: Lavender will bud only in an environment of 25-30℃, and the plant will bloom when the temperature is between 20-22℃. If the temperature is too low or too high, it will not be conducive to the flowers opening. Therefore, in high temperature areas, water should be sprayed to cool down, while in low temperature areas, appropriate insulation is required.
