watering
English Lavender should be watered once or twice a week, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. The amount of water will vary depending on the temperature and the stage of growth of the plant, with more water needed in hot climates or during times of active growth. A good rule of thumb is to water the plant until the top 3 inches of soil are moist, but never soggy. During the winter months, watering should be reduced, but plants should never be allowed to completely dry out. Overwatering can lead to root rot or other pest issues, so err on the side of caution when it comes to watering.
sunlight
English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia 'Lavang 21' VIOLET INTRIGUE) requires full sun for 6-8 hours a day to grow and flower optimally. When planted in a sunny location, this plant should receive direct sunlight for at least half the day, with some morning sunshine and some afternoon shade. Additionally, English Lavender should receive some protection from the wind in order to ensure its health. If grown in a shaded area, English Lavender may not flower or may produce fewer flowers.
pruning
English lavender should be pruned twice a year for best results, once in the spring and once in the late summer. In the spring, lightly cut back the plant by about 1/3, taking off the dead or damaged foliage, and shaping the plant if needed. In the late summer, cut back the flower stems and remove any spent flowers, leaving approximately 1/3 of the stem length. Doing this will help keep the plant in shape and encourage new growth for the following year.
