If you live in an area that suffers from cold, wet winters, it doesn't mean you can't learn how to grow lavender. However, in this environment, lavender is best grown in pots as you can move it to protect it. 'Move your pots of lavender into a cold greenhouse or cold frame or at least into a place where it will be sheltered from any excessive rain. If you are concerned about the drop in temperature during the winter months and can’t move the pots then wrap bubble wrap around the pots to keep them warmer - any plants growing in containers are more susceptible to damage from the cold as their roots have less insulation, being in a small space with a limited amount of soil to insulate the roots,' advises Lucie Bradly, co-owner of Two Wests & Elliot Ltd. If your lavender plant is in the garden, consider covering it with a frost sheet during the coldest parts of winter. However, do not leave it on for the whole season as it can become a breeding ground for disease.
