Notes/Pitfall Management
Crops can be delayed by early Spring cloudiness. Depending upon region it may be beneficial to add 2 weeks to the scheduling. Supplemental lighting beneficial. As with all lavender, provide good air flow and keep the foliage dry as possible. Avoid high humidity. B9/Cycocel can tone nicely.
