Location:
Plant this lavender in a sunny spot with at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. The sunnier the location, the more abundant the blooms.

Provide well-draining, preferably calcareous soil. Wet or heavy clay soil can cause problems; improve drainage with gravel or sand, if necessary.
Watering:
Water regularly after planting. Once the plant is well-established, it is drought-resistant.

Prune lightly immediately after flowering to keep the plant compact. Pruning can be done again in spring (March/April), but avoid cutting back to the old, woody part.
Thanks to its 'Primed' quality, this plant has a strong root base, which means it establishes itself faster and is more resistant to changing weather conditions.
