Soil: Lavender plants prefer well-draining soil with a pH between 6.5 and 7.5. If your soil is heavy and doesn't drain well, amend it with sand or perlite.
Location: Lavender plants need full sun to thrive, so choose a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Watering: Lavender plants are drought-tolerant and prefer to be on the dry side. Water deeply once a week or when the soil is dry to the touch.
Fertilizing: Lavender plants do not require a lot of fertilizer, but a light application of a balanced fertilizer in the spring can help promote healthy growth.
Pruning: Prune the lavender plant in the spring after new growth appears. Cut back the stems by about one-third to promote bushier growth and more flowers. Lavender Grosso is often grown commercially for its essential oil, but it also makes a beautiful addition to any garden with its long-lasting, fragrant blooms.
