Care Guide

Cultivation

Prefers a well-drained neutral to alkaline soil but tolerates acidic conditions. In heavy soil improve drainage as it does not tolerate waterlogging. Potash will encourage flowering but high nitrogen fertilisers and manure will result in "floppy" plants. See lavender cultivation for further advice

Pruning

Pruning group 10, after flowering

Propagation

Propagate by seed sown in a cold frame in spring, or by semi-hardwood cuttings in summer

Pests

Cuckoo spit (froghoppers) and rosemary beetle may be a problem
