Is Now a Good Time to Plant?

Yes! Fall is one of the best times to plant!

Landscaping experts often recommend planting in fall instead of waiting until spring. Here’s why:

  • Cooler weather puts less stress on newly planted trees and shrubs.
  • Fall soil is still warm, which helps roots grow and get established.
  • Cooler temperatures mean less water is lost through the leaves, making it easier for plants to stay hydrated.
  • Even after top growth slows for winter, roots continue developing below ground.
  • Fall weather often brings more rain and less heat, making new plants easier to care for.
  • By spring, your plants already have a head start. Their established roots can support strong new leaves, branches, and flowers.
  • Trees planted in spring must establish their roots while also dealing with rising temperatures and summer heat.

Plant this fall, and your trees can spend the cooler months getting settled instead of waiting until spring to get started!

Beware- not all 'Javelin Forte' Deep Rose Spanish Lavender is the same.

Be sure to get superior perennials, grown by experts.

Better Roots Make Stronger Plants: Some nurseries send you "bare root" perennials to save on shipping. Even worse, others have started digging them right out of the ground before shipping. This causes major transplant shock and long-term damage. We send you 'Javelin Forte' Deep Rose Spanish Lavender in soil-filled containers- ensuring a well-developed root system that will explode with growth and blooms!

Healthy Plants: We've seen other nurseries grow tall perennials in tiny pots to save on shipping. This leads to a "root bound" plant, where the roots have outgrown their pot- they cannot absorb water and nutrients. They quickly dry out during shipment, leading to an unhealthy plant.

'Javelin Forte' Deep Rose is a showy Spanish lavender- rosy-pink bracts like butterfly wings above deep purple flower spikes.

  • Blooms heavily in spring, earlier than many lavenders, often reblooming into fall in warm climates
  • Compact, tidy mounds 12-18 inches tall and wide for edging and containers
  • Heat loving and drought tolerant once established; grows in zones 7-9
  • Deer and rabbit resistant, and a favorite of bees and butterflies

Not all plants are created equal

The Difference Is in the Roots

Every plant we ship has grown in a nursery container with its roots protected, so it arrives healthy, established and ready to thrive in your yard.

A full, branched Nationwide Plants tree in a nursery pot next to a thin bare-root tree with exposed roots Ours: container grown Theirs: bare root
Nationwide Plants Other Nurseries
How it's grown Grown in a nursery container, roots protected the whole time Pulled or dug from the field, tearing fragile roots
How it arrives Arrives in its pot with soil intact Arrives bare root, exposed and drying out
Before shipping Growing naturally until it ships Held dormant in a cooler, then shocked by a hot shipping box
Root health Strong, well-developed roots with room to grow Crammed into a small pot until it's root bound
Height Measured from the top of the soil Often includes the pot and roots
After planting Settles in quickly with less transplant shock Arrives stressed and can take years to recover, if it does

The height you see is the height you plant.

We measure every plant from the top of the soil, not the bottom of the pot. Many nurseries include the pot and roots, so a "5–6 ft." tree from them might stand only 4 ft. tall once it's planted.

Comparisons reflect common practices across the online plant industry, not any single company.

Honest Measurements: Some nurseries measure plants including the pot and roots, so the plant you receive is much smaller than you expected. We measure all of our plants from the soil line, so the height you see is what you can expect after planting.

From our nursery to your door

How We Ship Your Plants

Every order is hand-selected, watered and carefully packed so it arrives healthy and ready to plant. Here's what happens after you place your order.

  1. Hand-Picked for You

    Our team selects the best plant available for your order. For privacy trees, that's the tallest and fullest. For fruit trees, it's the best branched.

    Why it matters: Many online nurseries ship whatever is next in the row.

  2. A Deep Drink Before the Trip

    Every plant gets a thorough watering right before it's packed, so it starts the journey fully hydrated.

  3. Roots Sealed In

    We wrap the pot and roots in plastic to lock in moisture, so your plant has water to drink all the way to your door.

    Why it matters: Bare-root plants are often shipped with their roots exposed and drying out.

  4. Braced for the Ride

    Cardboard inserts are secured inside every box to hold your plant in place, so it won't slide, tip or get damaged in transit.

  5. Shipped Only by FedEx

    We ship your trees exclusively with FedEx. We've found they deliver the fastest and handle live plants the most gently.

And if anything goes wrong, every plant is backed by our 1 Year Warranty.

Healthy Roots Make a Huge Difference

  • Never buy bare-root plants. These trees are starved of nutrients, and have a low survival rate.
  • Beware of nurseries cut corners by growing in small pots. These "rootbound" plants are weak, struggle to absorb nutrients, and die quickly after planting.
  • Some nurseries try to sell oversized plants, but chop off vital roots so they can cram the rootball into a narrow box to save on shipping!

You Want 'Javelin Forte' Deep Rose Spanish Lavender Grown by Experts

Some nurseries ship small, weak perennials grown in tiny pots to save money. These "root bound" plants struggle after planting and take longer to bloom well.

Nationwide Plants only sends you strong 'Javelin Forte' Deep Rose Spanish Lavender, selected and cared for by our plant experts, with healthy, developed root systems. That means it settles in quickly and starts filling your garden with color and fragrance sooner.

Frequently Asked Questions about the 'Javelin Forte' Deep Rose Spanish Lavender

How big does Javelin Forte Deep Rose Spanish Lavender get?

Javelin Forte Deep Rose Spanish Lavender grows 12 to 18 inches tall and 12 to 18 inches wide. It forms a tidy, mounded shape that stays neat without heavy pruning, which makes it a great choice for edging walkways, filling borders, or planting in patio containers where you want compact color and fragrance.

What growing zones is Javelin Forte Spanish Lavender hardy in?

Javelin Forte Spanish Lavender is hardy in USDA Zones 7 to 9. In colder regions you can still enjoy it by growing it as an annual or planting it in a container that you move indoors to a bright, cool spot for the winter, then bring back outside in spring.

Does Javelin Forte Spanish Lavender need full sun?

Yes, Javelin Forte Spanish Lavender needs full sun for the best flowering and strongest fragrance. Aim for a spot that gets at least six hours of direct sun each day. It handles hot, dry climates very well, and too much shade usually leads to fewer blooms and a leggier, less compact plant.

What kind of soil does Spanish lavender 'Javelin Forte' like?

Javelin Forte Spanish Lavender needs well-drained soil and does best in lean conditions. Avoid overly rich or soggy ground, since wet roots are the most common reason lavender struggles. Sandy or gravelly soil, raised beds, rock gardens, and containers with a fast-draining potting mix are all excellent choices for this plant.

How often should I water Javelin Forte Deep Rose Lavender?

Water Javelin Forte Deep Rose Lavender regularly during its first growing season so the roots can establish, then scale back. Once established it is drought tolerant and prefers the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering is a bigger risk than underwatering, so check that the top few inches are dry before watering again.

When does Javelin Forte Spanish Lavender bloom?

Javelin Forte Spanish Lavender blooms heavily in spring, earlier than many other lavenders, and often keeps flowering on and off into fall in warm climates. Each deep purple flower spike is topped with rosy-pink, petal-like bracts that look like butterfly wings, giving it a showy look that sets it apart from English types.

How do you prune Javelin Forte Spanish Lavender?

Lightly shear Javelin Forte Spanish Lavender after each flush of flowers fades. Removing spent blooms keeps the plant compact and encourages more reblooming. Avoid cutting hard into old, bare woody stems, since lavender does not always regrow from them. A light trim after flowering is usually all this tidy, low-maintenance variety needs.

Can I grow Javelin Forte Spanish Lavender in a pot?

Yes, Javelin Forte Spanish Lavender is an excellent container plant thanks to its compact, mounded habit. Choose a pot with drainage holes, at least 12 inches wide, and use a fast-draining potting mix. Place it in full sun on a patio or balcony, and let the soil dry slightly between waterings.

Is Javelin Forte Spanish Lavender deer resistant?

Yes, Javelin Forte Spanish Lavender is deer and rabbit resistant, thanks to its strongly scented foliage. It is also a favorite of bees and butterflies, so it works well in pollinator gardens, sensory gardens, and along walkways where you can enjoy the fragrance while wildlife that likes to browse tends to leave it alone.

Can Javelin Forte Deep Rose Spanish Lavender ship to every state?

No, Javelin Forte Deep Rose Spanish Lavender cannot ship to Arizona or Oregon because of state agricultural restrictions. Orders to other states can be placed as usual. If you live in AZ or OR, check with a local garden center for Spanish lavender varieties that are available in your area.
