The RHS give it a hardiness rating of H5, suitable for most of the North and colder inland areas.
Ideally, it wants a sheltered, sunny spot against a south-facing wall in most of the country outside the South West. In colder inland and Northern regions, we recommend growing it in pots that can either be moved into shelter in winter, or that receive heat from the house and can be covered up to make a cosy microclimate. For protection in the garden, horticultural fleece is good for rows, and buckets with ventilation holes in them, or large pots, should work for covering single plants.
Plant in sharply drained soil and full sun. If your soil’s heavy, dig in lots of grit and make a ridge or raised bed, or save yourself the trouble and grow it in pots. English lavenders prefer an alkaline soil in the sense that they tend to live longer in them, but they don't mind mild acidity.
Prune immediately after flowering.
