Allow soil to dry completely between waterings, drought tolerant once established, reduce watering in winter dormancy

Apply balanced slow-release fertilizer in spring, avoid over-fertilizing which reduces aromatic oil quality
Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushiness, harvest branches for dried arrangements
