Monrovia Goodwin Creek Lavender

Since this lavender reaches a mature width of 4 feet, you should space them at least 4 feet apart on center if you want individual mounded specimens. For a continuous, overlapping hedge effect, you can space them slightly closer, around 3 to 3.5 feet apart.

Yes, it is well-suited for containers as long as the pot has excellent drainage and is placed in a spot that receives full sun. Ensure you use a high-quality, fast-draining potting mix to prevent root rot, as this variety dislikes sitting in wet soil.

Yes, the aromatic oils in the foliage make this lavender unappealing to deer. While no plant is 100% deer-proof if food sources are extremely scarce, it is a reliable choice for gardens in areas with high deer pressure.

Fast-draining soil, often sandy or rocky, allows water to pass through quickly rather than pooling around the roots. If you have heavy clay soil, you should amend it with organic matter or gravel, or plant on a slight mound to ensure the roots stay dry.

Goodwin Creek Gray Lavender is hardy to Zone 7. If you live in a colder climate, it is best to grow it in a container so you can move it indoors to a bright, cool location during the winter months.

Once established, this shrub is highly drought-tolerant and requires very little supplemental water. You should only water during extended dry spells, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings to keep the plant healthy.
