Care advice for French Lavender hedging

As Lavandula Stoechas is a more tender variety it needs less pruning. For best results, a light trim after flowering is recommended. Due to the tenderness, make sure you plant Lavender Stoechas in a sheltered sunny position in dryish soil (like in France or Spain where it hails from). Please view the best4hedging Care and Planting instructions in our Advice section.
