5. Make sure soil is well-drained and fertilized

Lavender requires minimal moisture. Grow plants in well-drained areas or raised beds with light, rich soil. Keep them away from wet, moist areas. If you have clay or heavy garden soil, add organic matter. If you’re planting in pots, use terracotta pots with drainage holes.

Go easy on fertilizer as well; too many nutrients may kill your lavender or hamper its flower output. Limit fertilizing to the start of the growing season.
