Mona Lavender is a stunning perennial with lush, dark green leaves and beautiful spikes of small, lavender-purple flowers that bloom from late summer into fall. This variety is known for its attractive foliage and fragrant blooms, making it a favorite for both indoor and outdoor gardens. The plant typically grows to a height of 1 to 2 feet and spreads about 2 feet wide, forming a dense, bushy appearance.
Care Instructions: Light: Prefers partial to full shade. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so its best to place it in a spot with filtered light or morning sun. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Be cautious during winter, as overwatering can lead to root rot. Soil: Thrives in well-draining, rich, and organic soil. A mix of potting soil with compost works well. Fertilization: Apply a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) to promote healthy growth and blooms. Pruning: Pinch back the tips of the plant to encourage bushier growth and remove any dead or damaged leaves to maintain appearance.
