**How to Grow Lavender 'Whimsical Fairy White' in Australia:**
1. **Location**: Plant in a sunny spot that receives at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily. Lavender thrives in well-draining, sandy, or loamy soils.
2. **Planting**: Space the plants about 30-40 cm apart to allow for air circulation. Plant in a raised bed or container if the garden soil is heavy or clayey to ensure proper drainage.
3. **Watering**: Water regularly during the establishment phase. Once established, lavender is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering. Avoid overwatering as lavender prefers dry conditions.
4. **Pruning**: Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Cut back by about one-third, avoiding cutting into old wood.
5. **Fertilizing**: Lavender doesn't require much fertilization. A light application of a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring will suffice.
6. **Maintenance**: Mulch around the base with gravel or coarse mulch to retain moisture and prevent weeds. Protect from excessive humidity and ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.
