Wintering
Narrow-leaved lavender is the most winter-hardy variety. It can withstand frosts down to -25°C.
Recommendations:
In autumn, carefully prune the inflorescences without touching the old shoots.
Mulch the root zone with dry leaves and spruce branches.
In particularly cold winters (without snow), cover the plant with non-woven material (agrofibre).
