About Lavender
Lavender needs excellent drainage above all — it will rot in wet heavy soil even in a suitable zone.
Plant in the sandiest most well-drained soil you have. Raised beds or containers work well. Cut back by half after flowering. English lavender (L. angustifolia) is the hardiest for cold zones.
Gardening in Saskatchewan
Saskatchewan has a cold dry continental climate. Regina and Saskatoon are Zone 3b-4a. Cold winters are offset by long summer days and intense sunshine. Focus on cold-hardy crops and short-season varieties.
