watering

Lavender (Lavandula 'Regal Splendour') should be watered once a week. As the soil begins to dry, water deeply enough to moisten the soil and reach the roots. Try to water the base of the plant rather than simply misting the top of the soil. Do not water the plant if the soil is still wet. During dry periods, you may need to water slightly more often.

sunlight

Lavender (Lavandula 'Regal Splendour') requires full sun to produce the most vibrant blooms. This lavender species should receive around 6 to 8 hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight each day. If grown in a container, plants need sunlight on all sides for optimum results. It's important to note that this plant is not suited for all climates. In cooler regions or those with extreme temperatures, it is best to provide protection from the afternoon sun. Additionally, when grown indoors, place the plant near the brightest window available.

pruning

Lavandula 'Regal Splendour' should be pruned annually in the spring, after the last frost. Depending on the size of the plant, prune anywhere from 1-third to 2-thirds of the overall growth, taking care to retain the natural shape of the shrub. New growth will start immediately and in most cases will produce a higher quality bloom over time.
