This will be my second year growing lavender from your family Roberta's garden and they are doing great. Recently I moved two of them to a better location will keep an eye out to see if they their new spot. Have a great weekend along with your wife. Chao
Just found you and I love your info. I just got my first lavender plant last summer. It's doing ok but definitely could be better. From what you've shown here I see what I did and didn't do that didn't help the plant at all. That will be fixed right away. Thank you.
Great info Devin, thanks! I have an unrelated question....I ordered the Falling in Love Rosie dianthus and want to know if I need to protect it for the winter (also zone 6b in CT) since it will be in a hanging basket?
My lavender is potted on a Southern California rooftop patio. I noticed it gets very hot and they require slightly less sun and more water regularly. Any tips for maintaining their health in their pots on a hot rooftop? They were on death’s doorstep a few weeks ago, but the green and purple are slowly coming back.
Walking through our neighborhood in Los Angeles, I see large bushes of lavender that never seem to be pruned except for appearance sake and they just seem to bloom like crazy with very little care.
Thank you! This video was right on time for me, here in Lansdale, PA (zone 7A). I am going out into my gardens today to trim back my lavender, and now I know exactly where to cut it.
I have lavender in the pot I grew from seed and it did go a bit wood. Your video had the most visual explanation and so I became brave enough to prune.
Will the green stems left on the plant eventually turn woody? Will this make the plant larger and larger over time, by not being able to prune it small enough?
Thank you so much for this fantastic video. I am in Zone 5 & I am waiting for the freeze warning to lift & then I will be pruning my Lavender. Happy Gardening.
I'm in 5B on the Maine coast and I've had an English lavender going strong for about 4 years now and I've got a death thumb instead of a green one. Get a good winter cover like agribon -50 and it will be a great help! Best of luck!
Im in northwest Indiana. Im new to home ownership and we had landscaping done last spring and had 4 lavender planted(proven winners). We did not have a good experience with our landscaper and we broke ties. I was lost...i know nothing about plants. Nobody wants to take the time to walk with me and teach me. So here i am on youtube. They did bloomed great when planted and i didn't prune in late summer. I have 1 super blue and ones that look like yours. I just pruned them about 1/3 but have no idea if its right or if i should have done more...gardening is hard lol
Hi! Fellow Hoosier here! Gardening is something learned slowly over decades, just be patient and you will learn. And be ok with making mistakes, we ALL kill plants on routine basis. I hope you find some more helpful videos. New home owners is my target audience
