Growing Lavender 'Goodwin Creek Grey' as a Houseplant

Indoor Requirements

Light: Sunny south window (6–8 hrs direct sun) or 14–16 hrs under fluorescent lights.
Temperature: Day 60–75°F; night 60°F in fall/winter.
Water: Water only when top inch of mix is dry (silver-leaved plants prefer dry, lean soil).
Fertilizer: Every 6 weeks during growing season (Apr–Sep) with balanced fertilizer (20-20-20).

Continuing Care

Summer outdoors in sun (pot or ground). Zone 7+ (0°F) in West can stay out year-round. In colder zones, bring in before frost. Southern summers/winters cause failure—keep in pot and bring indoors. Deadhead faded spikes close to stem. Maintain shape by selective pinching; do not shear.
