Do this when you get home
- Fresh lavender only needs a little shallow water
- To dry it: tie small bunches and hang them upside down somewhere cool and airy. Dry in a week or two, and the scent keeps a long time.
Day to day
- If it's in water, change it every 3 days
- Rub a dried spike gently between your fingers and the scent gets stronger
Common questions
Why doesn't it smell like much?
Some of what's sold is an ornamental type with a light scent. Rub the spike and smell again, or look for true lavender (English lavender).
