The Three Rules for Growing Lavender:
- Lavender loves full sun. Plant it in a hot, dry and sunny area.
- It doesn't do well if over-watered.
- Frequent pruning helps.
Lavender Planting Tip: Leave space -- at least two feet -- between plants. This will give the blooming heads "room to breathe" and will help to prevent root rot.
