How to care for your Lavandula Stoechas

• Light: Prefers full sun and will do best in a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. The plant is drought-tolerant, but will produce more blooms if it receives adequate sunlight.
• Soil: The plant prefers well-drained soil that is alkaline or neutral in pH. If your soil is heavy or poorly drained, consider amending it with sand or other organic matter to improve drainage.
• Water: Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil evenly moist. Be careful not to over-water the plant, as it does not tolerate wet soil.
• Fertilisation: Does not require regular fertilisation, but you can feed it with a balanced fertiliser once or twice a year if you want to promote healthy growth.
• Pruning: Prune after it has finished blooming, cutting back the flowering stems to just above a set of leaves. Pruning will encourage new growth and promote a fuller plant.

By following these simple care tips, your Lavandula stoechas will thrive and provide an attractive and fragrant addition to your garden for many
