Thanks for the early flower pictures. Snow still melting here in Michigan.
Does anyone know about cutting back lavender? Ours was green all winter now looking grey. Our first year so I could use some advice thanks.
Someone told me to cut lavender back about halfway in the fall, so I tried that this year. You are also supposed to trim them back in the spring to encourage bushing out.
I also read that to over winter them to cover them with wood chips, which I am very glad I did as we had a lot of below zero temperatures this winter.
I’ll be finding out in the next couple weeks how well that all worked.
Lavender is blooming everywhere right now!
People around me have ripped up their lawns and median strips (yours truly included, husband actually ripped them out after the final water bill) - and are planting all kinds of lavender, which attracts a lot of bees.
I have had no luck with them! I see them everywhere but they do not perform for me for some reason - I’ve lost all of mine except for one that is in a pot and it is not doing well. Have no idea what I am doing wrong - it is one of the few plants I struggle with - and I love lavender!
Will have to research it further as to growing conditions - my neighbors seem to have no problem growing it.
