Lavender needs sun and drought
The lavender, which grows up to a meter high, originally comes from the Mediterranean region. This is characterized by a lot of sun, drought and barren soils. So that the subshrub feels comfortable with you, you should allow it the same conditions. This means that lavender needs a location that is as full of sun as possible - the plant will not feel particularly comfortable in partial shade or even in shade. However, some gardeners may be lucky with a partially shaded place for their lavender, but then the soil must not be heavy and / or wet. White lavender in particular often thrives in partially shaded locations with dry, sandy soils.
Tips & Tricks
Before you plant your lavender, mix the garden soil vigorously with sand - preferably in a ratio of 1: 1. A layer of pebbles several centimeters thick is placed under this substrate mixture so that excess water cannot be stored but drains off quickly.
