A lavender-scented breeze means serenity, so it’s no wonder these aromatic flowers are so popular among UK gardeners. Many, however, are unaware that they must learn how to overwinter lavender if they want it to bloom at its best.

Well, considering how many lavender plants we see across the country, it’s easy to forget that many of these richly scented flowers are actually Mediterranean garden staples – meaning they are used to warmer, sunnier climates. This is why overwintering, also known as overwintering, is an important aspect of caring for a lavender plant.
