Well-drained sandy or gritty soil; alkaline to neutral pH; avoid heavy clay.
Low water needs once established; allow soil to dry completely between waterings to prevent root rot.
Full sun (6+ hours daily); essential for oil production and flowering intensity.
Minimal; apply compost in spring. Over-fertilizing reduces fragrance and vigor.
Prune lightly after flowering; hard prune every 3 years if leggy, but avoid cutting into old wood.
