The Butterfly Candy™ series is specifically bred for compact growth. With one annual spring pruning, Lil' Lavender stays reliably at 2-3 feet. No constant trimming needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I fit 2 plants in one shipment with free shipping?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Yes!

Use a pot at least 16-18 inches in diameter with drainage holes. Use quality potting mix and water more frequently than in-ground plants. Perfect for patios and decks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: I live in Zone 5 with cold winters. Will this survive?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Yes. In colder zones, stems may die back to the ground in winter, but vigorous new growth emerges from the roots in spring. Since Lil' Lavender blooms on new wood, you still get full flowering. Mulch around the base for extra protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Do I need to deadhead for continuous blooms?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Lil' Lavender will rebloom without deadheading, but removing spent flower spikes encourages even more blooms and keeps the plant tidy. It takes just minutes every week or two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: When will it bloom after planting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Our 2 gallon plants typically bloom within weeks of planting if planted in spring or early summer.
