#ProPlantTips for Care:

Spanish Lavender plants need very well-drained soil and moderate moisture once they're established. Xeric and urban conditions are no problem for these plants that favor Mediterranean climates. Provide full sun and moderate moisture, mulch and fertility. Prune early spring if needed.
