Lavandula pedunculata, known as butterfly lavender or Portuguese lavender, prefers well-drained soil and plenty of sun, though it tolerates partial shade. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry between sessions, as overwatering is the most common cause of failure. Trim lightly after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage repeat blooms.
