Spanish lavender

Spanish lavender (Lavandula stoechas 'Bandera Deep Rose') should be watered once every 7 to 10 days. Before watering, check the moisture level of the soil near the base of the plant. Water only if the soil is dry. It is important not to overwater, as that can lead to root rot. Once your Spanish lavender receives adequate watering, allow the soil to dry out between watering intervals. When watering, ensure that all areas of the plant receive an even amount of water.

Spanish lavender prefers full sun exposure for at least 6 hours each day. During the summer months, it is best to place plants in an area that is exposed to direct sunlight for most of the day. During the winter months, the Spanish lavender can tolerate light shade as long as it is getting at least 4 to 5 hours of sunlight each day.

Spanish lavender should be pruned at least once a year. This should be done in the late spring or early summer, before the start of their blooming period. Pruning Spanish lavender will stimulate new growth and help keep the plant looking vibrant. The best way to prune Spanish lavender is to trim back the stems by 1-third. This will not only encourage the plant to produce more flowers, but it will also help keep its natural shape. Make sure to use sharp pruning shears or scissors, and use a clean cloth or garden gloves and sanitize them between cuts to ensure that you are not transferring any disease when pruning. Finally, remove any dead or diseased stems or leaves with the pruning shears.
