Cultural care
Choose a shaded to semi-shade location with a moist but well drained soil. Fertilise with a slow release fertiliser during early spring. A light pruning after flowering will help to maintain a neat shape and encourage denser growth of foliage. Mona Lavender should be given protection if planted in a more open situation (eg. no roof or tree canopy overhead), as it will not tolerate frosts or low temperatures.
