You’re supposed to trim lavender back about an inch in mid spring, whatever that is. I just trim it back sometimes when the tulips start coming up.
It encourages it to grow bushy. Lavender can be really persnickety to grow, but once you have well established plants, they can become mammoth.
I have a couple that are finally huge. I can harvest tons of lavender. And you’d think I could find a market for it with what it costs, right?
Guess again.
Are the lavendar plants you’re growing, the English plants? I wouldn’t know a lavendar plant if I was standing next to one, but love the smell. We live in central Texas and I keep thinking of growing a low hedge of lavendar along the front of our property facing the golf course, hopefully they’ll hide the balls, lost by those chipping up on the 3rd green.
