My heart stopped when he started to use those huge shears 😂
Ah oh! 😲
Time for a defibrillator or CPR.... 😁
David would rather hear about your heart "skipping a beat" when you see all those beautiful flowers twice in the same year!
The use of "huge shears" is an important forerunner to having this happen. Hopefully, you'll get a chance to follow his instructions and see the results accrue - even if it takes a little boldness and courage. 😉💚😊👍
At the risk of more heart fluttering.....
Have you seen our other video on trimming Lavender to get them growing better and flowering twice?
When you are up to it..... Here's the link to it too: ua-cam.com/video/JS2UFJIm6yY/v-deo.html, in this one David takes the process a bit further and explains more about how you can get the BEST out of your lavenders. 👏👏👏✂✂
TYFS!
I enjoy my garden very much; I’d rather be in the garden than in the house any day!
He ha, we're with you on that!
Have you had a chance (when you are in the house) to view any of our other (many) videos?
we mention this because there's lots of them here on this channel including this one entitled "David's Tips & Tricks To Grow Beautiful Lavender💜💜 💜 (Part Two) Summer Trim" : ua-cam.com/video/JS2UFJIm6yY/v-deo.html, it expands on his tips and suggestions and might be interesting for you to know about too.

And, as you find our videos helpful, it would be great if you could kindly share the links with your friends and click the "like" button too, because that will help other people find out about the information as well.

This was so informative. I just bought 2 lavender plants for my mother for Mother’s Day and I’m about to plant them in south Florida. Luckily I have well draining soil as I am in a coral ridge.this helped me a lot. Thank you 🙏
GREAT tips. Lavender can be a challenge to grow in the wet and humid N.E. I had no luck at all until I started planting it in raised beds. The beds drain well and warm up earlier in the Spring. Lavender needs help to survive in this cold climate with so much cloudiness, temperature extremes and long wet winters. A prize in any garden. Thanks for all your videos. I am loving and sharing them. Your love of of gardening really shines through. We all know how the Irish love their land and gardens. And same with the half Irish (like myself) 👏🐝🦋
Mary, that's nice to hear, and you've "hit the nail on the head" when you started growing your Lavender in raised beds. There's a reason why the commercial lavender growers in the south of France (and elsewhere), plant their Lavender fields in raised drills!
Even in the sun drenched Mediterranean climate they grow them raised up above soil level. Did you note that the beds in our display areas are raised up too? A point I need to draw attention to in some of our subsequent videos. Thanks for reminding me and you nice supportive comments.
BTW, did you catch our other videos showing how you can get them to flower twice in the same season? Here's a link to it, in case you missed it: ua-cam.com/video/JS2UFJIm6yY/v-deo.html

So the advice I have previously had to trim back into a mound straight after flowering is incorrect?
thanks...I was afraid I was late to pruning and also cutting too much, however, now seeing, not late and can actually go back and cut lower... my lavender plants do very well and even are reproducing!!!!!! :) God bless you.
Before you get out the shears, you might want to (if you haven't already) check out the other video (Part Two) : ua-cam.com/video/JS2UFJIm6yY/v-deo.html, and discover more about lavender characteristics, and why it is important to trim them regularly, and not to trim OLD previously untrimmed plants TOO HARD! In this video (filmed on the same three plants) you will see how you can trim them AGAIN in summer to keep them bushy and get them to REPEAT so that they will flower heavily TWICE in the same year!
Then, browse through the other videos on this channel, and get the scoop on the top performing selections that are available through our network of partnering garden centers: overdevest.wpengine.com/retai... distributed throughout our Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern States.😉😃💚👍
So glad I came across your video. Thank you! thank you! thank you!
I have a handicap no one can see, I am Dyslexic - I learn by watching & your demonstration is excellent. With the added transcript I was able to find the spelling for the type of limestone I needed! You're on my watch list! God bless you.
That's wonderful. We know it is not easy to read this (so we'll make it short).

Going out to cut back my plants!! Didn’t take them back far enough !! Thanks for the tips😊
Good show! That will help to keep them bushier, longer lasting and even more attractive!
I am wondering did you mange to catch our other video? The one that dives in deeper with more information and shows you how to get them to rebloom again in the autumn: ua-cam.com/video/JS2UFJIm6yY/v-deo.html.
This will help you keep them extra bushy and get them to REPEAT so that they will flower heavily TWICE in the same year!

You'd love our lavender. We have one of the best climates and soil for growing it.
Sounds lovely. A garden full of beautiful lavender is very special
I've been using a hedging blade to shape mine into a nice bulb. Been worried that I might be over cutting, but your video shows me that I could actually cut more than that.
And you can trim them more frequently too!
the ones in the video are trimmed at least TWICE in the same year!
On that subject, did you manage to catch our other video (Part Two) : ua-cam.com/video/JS2UFJIm6yY/v-deo.html ?
In this one we take the subject a further.... and show you how you can trim them AGAIN in summer to keep them bushy and get them to REPEAT so that they will be extra healthy and flower heavily TWICE in the same year!

I'm in Tucson and would love to grow Lavender..
Understand completely, they are very beautiful. Take a look around gardens in your neighborhood and talk to your local garden centers, they should be able to guide you
I havè a large pond and use the water for my lavender as the ph is just right for them! 😊
That's a good resource to have, although except for establishing new plants, normally lavenders don't need a whole lot so extra watering. Just be careful not to keep them too wet.

I bought around $178.00 worth of lavender plants last year - then I heard people saying they have a short life Span of about 5 years - then I thought yikes, oh no! I still held out hope, thanks for the tips, I'm on it! 👏🌱🙂👍Long live my beautiful hidcote lavender!

Love your videos, they are so informative. Would appreciate if you'd share what brand of hedging shears you use. I have what I thought were a good purchase, but they don't shear anything decently.
Thanks, it is amazing how many people have noticed and picked up on the brand of these shears 😁 True Friends brand from Germany model 1914 is what we use. Our talented production manager Ken Stevens says that A M Leonard used to sell them but it doesn’t look like they do anymore. He says the best bet would be to search online to see who might have them. He thinks they would cost Probably $140 or so, and he goes on to say that there is another model (1912) that is 2” shorter on the cutting surface. He says he prefers the longer cut and that is what he and his dedicated team uses.
When you look at our plants in these videos or at our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ you will notice that Ken keeps our plants heavily "manicured" that's what makes them so bushy and beautiful, so his choice of professional tools is worth noting. 😉💚👍
Another terrific video! I just love Dave ❤️. What do you do if all the growth is at the top of the stems and the old/dried dead stuff is at the bottom? Mine seems to want to grow on “old wood”. TYFS ❤️🦋💜
Thanks, I just replied to your question on the other (summer trimming) video....
In essence, there isn't much you can do except keep trimming the soft, juicy growth at the tops, and try (through time) to encourage them to sprout shoots from lower down. Depends upon how "woody" and "leggy" they are, but I've seen this happen and eventually they can be "rejuvenated". Most of time however, most of us don't have the patience, so we start off again with young, vigorous specimens and this time keep them bushy and lush right from the start. Here's a link to our partnering garden center locations: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ should you decide to adapt this option.
@@OverdevestNurseries thank you! I’ll try that 👍🏻
Thanks for the very useful information as there is very little I’ve been able to find online about lavender. However I haven’t even been able to reach the point yet where I’m caring for mature plants. My seeds struggle germinating and all but 1 of the few successful sprouts have died off 😢
You are very welcome, it is great to hear you are finding our efforts helpful.
It sounds like time (if you have a birthday or special occasion coming up) to invest in (and treat yourself) to one of our pot grown specimens! 😉👏
Obviously, you'll be getting off to a good start with a healthy, well-grown and shaped plant, but also it will be one that has been elected for it superior genetic traits too.
Seed grown lavenders often take a long time to get to any size, but they are also variable and can be quite satisfactory, but our plants are propagated vegetatively and grown for their selected qualities so the end result is almost instant and likely be more impressive.
We feature several of the best performers here on this channel and here's a link to another of David's videos that might be interesting too: ua-cam.com/video/JS2UFJIm6yY/v-deo.html .
Remember....., good drainage, plenty of sun, regular trimming and check your pH.

is bone meal okay as a replacement for the lime powder?
Great Video ! What are those red stakes ?
Thank you, glad to hear you found it helpful. The red stakes are how we mark the name of the plants, we use them in the nursery, trials and display areas.
Aloha David! Thank you for an informative and wonderfully made video. There is much I need to do for the lavender I planted in my cozy garden back in Oct 2021. Can you please recommend a favorable time-release fertilizer and anything else to help keep my lavender healthy and happy? Most appreciative:)
There's a lot of excellent slow release fertilizer formulations stocked at the garden centers and you don't have to be precise in any particular kind. I've used most of them at one time and another, and as long as they have a balanced formulation they will do the trick. Outside of the things I showed you here there isn't much else that you need to do. But, if you haven't seen it already, you might like to catch our other video (Part Two) : ua-cam.com/video/JS2UFJIm6yY/v-deo.html.

I for the first time I’m growing lavender from seed. I don’t know whether it will come up or not but it’s a good experiment and I have a package on hand. This is a great tip because I live in an area in Missouri that after having my soil tested I found it was quite low in pH and that I needed to incorporate line. And in this case it looks like I need to incorporate more line than usual. So thanks for the tip I will keep all of that in mind
Thank you. it is great to hear you found this useful. Lavenders are quite frequently grown from seed. It just takes several years for the little seedlings to become big enough to make any impact and you are likely to see a good deal of variation both in habit and flower color, but it is still fun to try. As well, as adjusting the pH of your soil, it might be good to add some sand of grit too, especially of your soil has a high clay content. Light sandy soils (or composts) are important when raising lavender. Good luck.
I wonder if there is a way to correct lavender that has already turned woody. Thanks for this advice, i will definitely be trimming my lavenders this coming spring
Sometimes, when you keep trimming the green growth back, the plants will start sprouting new buds from lower down in the older, woody growth and then through time it is possible to get them to get them back to being bushy at the base again.
But, we must also tell you that if they have become leggy and top heavy they will topple over, and really there isn't much you can do except to start over with new plants!

Thanks so much for the tutorial David! 😀It's good to have verification that I've been pruning correctly but I have never gone that extra step to give it a dressing of dolomite 😥
It is great to hear you found this helpful!
As you are probably already aware, knowing and adjusting the upward parts of the pH levels (if needed) is a simple and inexpensive thing, but it is something that most of us overlook. So, knowing the plants that thrive best in calcareous conditions or on the flip side are sensitive to higher pH levels is important, and it is nice to know that this little bit of information was helpful for you. Thanks for your continued support.💚👍😃
@@OverdevestNurseries I will continue to watch your videos as long as you keep making them 😉😀😉They are informative, display new introductions/developments we might not be aware of and are entertaining, especially when spoken in that lovely voice!
Wonderful, thank you! we appreciate you support and contributions
My daughter has lavender. Hope to remember your tips. 👍👍👍
excellent on lavender...esp. Hidecote (sp.?)
I use my weedeater to trim my Lavender every spring.
That will work. However it can be a bit imprecise, and I find the clean up is harder with small shreds of old foliage that the rake doesn't catch potentially reinfecting and spreading foliar diseases.
Thank you so much. What do you do with the big woody pieces underneath. Do I just cut them back?
They do not sprout well from the woody stems - that's why its important that we start pruning them early as young plants, and then keep doing that to keep them bushy and well furnished to the ground. Once they build up old leggy woody stems, there's not much you can do with them except keep pruning the young lush growth near the tops. Sometimes this leads to them sprouting new shoots near the base that then these can be trimmed and through time a fuller, more juvenile base created.
I had no idea that lavender are particular about the soul's ph - I'm a novice gardener looking forward to my 2nd year of gardening. My first plant was lavender hi Scott and I've noticed it has already started to get quite woody even though I've done all the pruning correctly. I'm going to put your advice to the test - I sure hope it helps. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 👍
Thank you. You are very welcome, it is great to hear that you efforts are helpful. These are the little things that we all acquire over time, so don't worry about starting out..... we are all learning, all the time. Just keep trimming the younger, greenish growth (they don't sprout well from the older woody growth), so if you start with young plants and keep at it, you'll be able to keep them fresh, growthy and covered with flowers.
BTW, have you discovered the other video on pruning them in summer?
If not, here's the link to it: ua-cam.com/video/JS2UFJIm6yY/v-deo.html, in this video you will discover how you can trim them AGAIN in summer to keep them bushy and get them to REPEAT so that they will flower heavily TWICE in the same year!

I have an older unpruned (woody on the interior) plant. Would it be best to remove it and start over with a new plant or can you get regrowth from the old woody stems once taken down to proper height. Thank you again very good advice.
They do not sprout well from the old woody growth, so unless you are able to trim back younger "green" growth around the outside and get it to regenerate that way, you would probably be better to start off fresh with new juvenile plants and then keep after them every year.
How is it that I never knew lavender would benefit from lime (our northeast soil is acidic)? I gave a dose today, thanks for this tip!
Its all about knowing our plants, their preferences, needs and origins. Plus of course, just a wee bit of experience!

Thank you for these tips ☺️ I have two lavender plants doing quite well (they were here before we bought our house and I’m not sure of their variety). Last year, I planted two more in the vicinity, but they don’t seem to have survived our Vermont winter (zone 5). Are there specific types of lavender that are hardier and more likely to make it through winter?
Thank you, it is nice to know our efforts are proving helpful. There are several different types and selections, many of which are just too tender for your area. Some others survive fine in milder parts of your zone, but excellent drainage is vital and little tricks like temporarily mounding up the mulch around the clumps in early winter and laying some conifer boughs over them (a good use for discarded Christmas trees) works too.

@@OverdevestNurseries fantastic! Thank you so much for all of this information ❤️
I'd recommend you use an organic fertiliser to prevent damaging birds, bees, pollinators
👏👏👏👏
Thank you.
I love lavender. I have always chosen Hidcote because they seem to stay more hedge like with less loose flopping. But I would love to see how you recommend splitting hosta plants. I have some beautiful large plants I need to thin down and spread out. Also I have used the old bulbs of lavender I rub between my hands on my carpets. I then vacuum them up which sends the wonderful fragrance throughout my house
Thank you, as you can probably guess we are fond of lavender too and as you will see from this link to our website: grownbyoverdevest.com/splant/?_sfm_genus=Lavandula we grow at least 8 sorts including Lavandula Imperial Gem....👌👏😄: which if you haven't come across it yet, is a top performer and worth checking out: ua-cam.com/video/fLoSIJbORcY/v-deo.html
Also, have you caught our other video (Part Two) : ua-cam.com/video/JS2UFJIm6yY/v-deo.html, on "Tips & Tricks with Lavender"?
If not, you might find this one even more interesting... we explain how to trim them AGAIN in summer so that they will flower heavily TWICE in the same year, but you might find the bit at the end interesting where I talk about how ancient civilizations used lavender like you do to freshen their clothing and hence led to the origins of the word "laundry"!😄💚👍😁
I divided and moved my giant Hosta about a month ago. First dug it up, and then divided it into about 12 little ones. I replanted those into a different area. They are already huge. I'm in zone 5 in the Midwest.
I split mine all the time every couple years so I have plenty to give away as well as replant. I do not dig it up- if you look in the hosta’s you can see all the new ones usually there are many - I just tie up the portion I do not want to split then I use a sharp shovel and go in between the area and cut it- then I just go replant it or set in my waterfall where it actually thrives even in winter till I find a place for it. I have never lost one yet of any variety. They are very hardy forgiving plants.
Thank you! I just mixed lime into my newly potted lavender, did something right for once! 😊 David, I live in the desert over 100 every day will my lavender make it?
Growing up in the lush, green, rain-drenched climate of Ireland and then spending over 30 years growing plants here in our Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic states I have limited experience of gardening in deserts, but I've seen them growing naturally in the Mediterranean climate of the south of France, Spain and the Algarve in Portugal so the chances are they will be fine. But the best thing would be to check with your local garden centers, they will know better how things do in your neighborhood and locality.
@@OverdevestNurseries I thought I heard a little Irish, even a little Canadian in that accent😊 No, no nurseries here and stores don't know anything in SE New Mexico, not really a desert, but a ( toxic )wasteland. 😔
I am originally from the West Coast where things would grow readily. They used to even grow here for me but less so in the last 3 to 4 years. I would think it's only my problem, but hardly anyone buys plants here and they all quickly die before they are sold. ?
I couldn’t germinate lavender seeds ; any tips?
Can I do this in end of May ? I planted two of these in ground and they were suffering because I have heavy clay soil. I transferred them to pots but forgot to trim them in early spring.
It depends upon how they look. If they are young and healthy and about to flower, you can wait until this first flush of flowers begins to fade and give them a good trim then. On the other hand, if they are straggly and open, then you might be wise to sacrifice flowers in the short term and trim them ASAP (and then regularly through the season) to get them to recover and replenish into bushy, well shaped plants, that then will flower and look nice in subsequent years.
One note to point out, if you revisit this video again, you will see that we are growing ours in a raised bed - this is something you could try, By raising up the level (to a good height) and adding sandy or gravelly soil, you would be able to elevate the crowns well above the clay soil, so that you create a rockery type beds that would have much better drainage.

I tried 'again' last summer with Lavender. I think it's just too cold here in 5b. Maybe my particular property is 5a. IDK.. Made big hole with sand, pebbles, perlite in soil, raised it up a tad. IDK
Alas, in a cold 5a zone that could be the sad reality!☹️🥹
But, that usually doesn't stop us from trying, does it?
We all want to grow and enjoy things that are perhaps, may be just beyond on the probability!😊
If you ever want to try again (and if its any consolation), you are on the right track...., in adding copious amounts of grit and gravel to aid drainage, boosting the pH etc. And, as you've probably noticed in our test area, growing them in a raised bed helps too.
To help you a little further here's a link to a report from the Chicago Bot. Garden (which is in 5b): www.chicagobotanic.org/sites/default/files/pdf/plantevaluation/no42_lavender.pdf
In this 2017 report, you will see that 3 of the selections we grow and offer through our network of garden centers in our Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern States achieved high performance ratings.
They were....
Imperial Gem (which we adore): ua-cam.com/video/fLoSIJbORcY/v-deo.html

Can you tell me what type of soils do I need because my places is mixer of sand and a little bit of clay I love lavender and I want to grow in my back yard full of sun in zone 8 texas thanks
They need free draining, sandy, gravelly, rocky soils that are calcium (lime) rich. Any areas with a higher proportion of clay is best avoided.
@@OverdevestNurseries so is that’s mean I can add some Little Rock to my soil and also some lim when I plan them lol sorry just my first experience of planning anything please explain to me more if you can
Thank you!!!! Would appreciate if you can share the names/ brands that you use..
Thanks for your appreciative comment. In order to try to present and preserve the integrity and unbiased content of our information, we deliberately try not endorse or recommend specific brands, and since most of the fertilizers, equipment and tools etc. that we use are standard formulations and models (that are usually available under multiple brand names anyway), it would be difficult and unfair to mention any one over another. The experts at your local garden centers :grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ will be very familiar with the best formulations and brands for your area, so when you require exact, expert guidance we suggest that you consult directly with them, they are a terrific local neighborhood resource.
We live in South East TN United States and I can’t get lavender to grow, at all.
Maybe I need more lime n one of the ph reading contraptions. Thank You!
Lime will raise the pH and help, but it is really, lots of sunlight and an average good draining soil that is all they need. Have you checked out our other (part two) video?

When I plant new lavender, should I sprinkle a little slow-release fertilizer into the hole? Also, in zone 6b, when planting new lavender or perennials, shrubs, or trees in autumn, (September to December,), should I apply slow release fertilizer? I was worried it might stimulate new growth.
Our "Grown by Overdevest" plants (available through a network of partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/) already have a carefully formulated compost that continues to supply nutrients during the establishment period. So, supplementing it is not necessary.
And, if you are interested here's a link to a video that shows our recommended planting procedure: ua-cam.com/video/xybT3obydPw/v-deo.html. In this video, David is planting an evergreen but the principles for lavender are similar, except you would probably be wise to test your pH levels and adjust it by adding an inexpensive dressing of lime (if needed).
Then when you get a chance you might like to scroll through this channel and review our suggestions for the top performing varieties that are available through these garden centers.
Autumn is our favorite time for planting, so you are right on schedule for ensuring you get off to a terrific start.
I have 2 to 10 year old lavendar hedges. This year our spring was completely abnormal. We went from a longer dominant season with snow to 85° temps way before new growth even got the chance to show. I just now have new growth and some are still struggling to fill in. Should I trim back even more than i normally do?
Just keep to the "green" growth, don't cut into the older, woodier stems.
Here's a link to the other video (Part Two) : ua-cam.com/video/JS2UFJIm6yY/v-deo.html, this deals with this in greater detail and show you how you can trim them AGAIN in summer to keep them extra bushy and get them to REPEAT flowering... TWICE in the same year!

It's 4-23-24 in zone 9. I know my lavender needs to be trimmed but it has been covered with very active bees. I don't want to disrupt their important work. How late can I trim? Thanks.
Its nice that you recognize (and respect) the pollinators. Wait until the most of the flowers have finished, and then trim it!
That will stimulate a new round of flowering and keep the plant longer lived too.

One thing I've always wondered and never understood is that the green stems that are left on the plant do they turn woody? Eventually, making plants larger and larger over time? Or does that not turn woody by trimming each season?
If left to their own devices, the basal stems will become hard and "woody", and at times.... Look quite ugly and loose vigor!
Whereas, when the plants are regularly trimmed right from the start, they stay lush and productive and are much more attractive and longer lived.
So its important to start early the plant's life, and then keep doing it!

And, now that we have entered the main planting season (spring through late Fall) try to visit our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/.
They are located all over our Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern region, and that's where you will find all sorts of beautiful, tried and true and cutting edge, top performing selections, so be sure to stop in regularly throughout the seasons because there will be a steady stream of more fresh shipments coming in weekly.
@@OverdevestNurseries Thank you! This explains what I was wondering.
What time is “this time of year”
Hi David.
What fertiliser N.P.K. do you recommend.
There's lot of very good organic and slow release formulations, and your local garden centers will be able to help you choose the ones that are right for your needs: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/
Of course, it depends upon what you are trying to do. For general growth, we typically suggest something along the lines of a 10-10-10, whereas if you are looking to enhance fruit or flowers then a 5-10-5 or 10-20-10 will usually do the trick.
Do you cut into the wood?
No, keep to the green growth only. As you will hear in the videos (and there is two on this subject) they DO NOT sprout well from the older woody growth.
What variety do you recommend for zone 4?
I am afraid that might be a tall order!
Since our experiences are limited only to our region: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ where most of the plants we grow are Zone 5 and warmer, I am afraid we cannot not guide you much.
I see that Lavandula Phenomenal is rated as a Zone 4 plant: grownbyoverdevest.com/plant/phenomenal-english-lavender/ so, it might be worth a try. But again we cannot verify this, so the best thing we suggest is that you check with some of your local garden centers, they are usually a very valuable source of local information.
What’s the latest date to cut back the lavender? Have I missed it this year as it is 2 May?
There isn't really a set date. You can trim them at almost any stage during the growing season, except very late in the autumn (when you might cause soft growth going into the winter). And in fact here on the nursery we continually trim ours right through periods of the spring and summer. You will see in the video and also in the follow up one (part two): ua-cam.com/video/JS2UFJIm6yY/v-deo.html (filmed during the summer, after the first round of flowering) that I was clipping off new growth. and, you can do this too, to keep your plants healthy, bushy, flowering better and plants that are longer lived. The only thing not to do is cut into old dark, woody stems on older, overgrown, neglected plants, they just do not sprout well from these old stems.
I learned so much - will go and chop them back. Love that lavender. Thanks.
Thank you, for letting us know, it is great to hear you found this helpful.
Did you manage to catch our other video (Part Two) : ua-cam.com/video/JS2UFJIm6yY/v-deo.html in this one, you will discover how you can trim them AGAIN in summer to keep them bushy and get them to REPEAT so that they flower heavily TWICE in the same year!
Then, when you get a chance you might like to browse through the other videos on this channel, and get the scoop on our top performing lavender selections that are available through our network of partnering garden centers: overdevest.wpengine.com/retai... distributed throughout our Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern States.
I weep every Spring!!! I walk my dogs amongst scrubland and wild lavender is everywhere! Literally. Then I walk home not five minutes away and have to face my apology for a lavender plant 😩! And I live in Crete Greece where the summers are scorching hot and I don’t seems to get the watering quite right. The garden centres advice differs - twice a week, no! Not more than once a week, no you must feel if the soil is damp below the surface, 3-4cms down and only water if it’s dry 🤷🏻♀️
The trick (like we mention in our videos) is to try to replicate the same conditions as the wild ones are growing in scrubland.
So do we cut down in spring or fall
Both!
If they have old flower stems left over from Fall, then trim them in early spring before growth begins and then after they finish flowering you trim them again! This would be summer after the first round of flowering and again in Autumn as the flower stems begin to discolor. This could be a lighter trim just to tidy them up for winter.
Here's a link to another of David's videos that explains more about how they grow and what you can do to get the very best from them: ua-cam.com/video/JS2UFJIm6yY/v-deo.html

What type of mulch do you use? I have cedar I thought bugs stayed away but no they don’t and noticed water does not penetrate it.
Firstly a heartfelt thanks to you sir for your guidance and work i m an ardent lavender lover trying since three years to grow it from seeds i stay in india we are currently 47 degree Celsius here kindly help me what can I do do i need to cold stratify them should i sow 5hem in winters when it's 10 degrees here i have an alkaline soil they are just not sprouting
They are very slow from seed. I am afraid I have no knowledge of Indian conditions so your local garden centers are probably worth checking with. That said, when I've grown them from seed. I've always sown them in early spring, in sandy (well drained compost), and they take several years before you have anything of size!
As a final thought, have you watched our second video (Part Two)? In this video, I delve deeper into the cultural needs and that might help you to understand more about their needs, here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/JS2UFJIm6yY/v-deo.html,
Finally, have you subscribed to our channel? And also, it would be nice if you can kindly "like" any videos that are helpful because that will help other people find the information too.
Thank you for taking out your time and guiding i got a lot of help from your videos i m attempting them and will definately share with you when i get sucess but i believe we will have a good growth of the plant here in india lavender is not very common and there is a big potential in the indian market with it i m trying hard to achieve sucess but i guess we are short of quality seeds here i m trying what all i can arrange the garden centres are selling fake plants on the name of lavender thank you so much do tell me if you deliver seeds in india
When David says to clip back the lavender at this time of year, when is this? After it finishes flowering? In the fall? Spring?
Both times. In other words, as soon as the flowers start to discolor. This year we could (actually) have trimmed them THREE times!
With deer all over long Island, lavender is in demand.
Absolutely, it is very beautiful and perfect for sandy (like enhanced) soils.
@@OverdevestNurseries we get sandy soil here.ty
I had lavender for years but this last year they all died became sticks one was quite huge. I haven’t had luck since then. I’m in zone 4-7 so what type should I be planting? It also happened to my rosemary plants they were very large but never produced . Sadly I live lavender and rosemary in my flower beds the smell is so pretty but I lost them. Would appreciate knowing what type I should plant.
Here's a link: grownbyoverdevest.com/splant/?_sfm_genus=Lavandula that will introduce you to 8 types that we offer through our partnering garden centers, and if you take a minutes to check out the rest of our channel, you will discover at least 5 videos that will explain more about their features and details.
We notice that you mention you are in "zone 4-7" and if so, please note that most of them are only hardy to Zone 5 and therefore a Zone 4 garden might be too cold for them to survive the winter.
We suggest you think about checking in with the experts at your local garden center and see if they can give you some of their local expertise and guidance.
Thank you , now I know why our lavender plants just gave up.
Ah oh!
Perhaps this will encourage you to have another go!
If so, can suggest that you take a few minutes to watch our other second video on the subject. In this video, I delve deeper into the cultural needs and explain more about that, here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/JS2UFJIm6yY/v-deo.html,
I forgot to mention it in the videos, but when you are viewing, please note how we have our plants are growing in "raised" beds.... that helps with the drainage.
You will see how we treat the same 3 plants in summer to keep them bushy and get them to REPEAT flower, so that they will flower heavily TWICE in the same year!

Wonderful! Could this treatment apply to sage as well?
Yes trimming back the old flowers and giving them a "spring clean up" will get them off to a god start. As for nutrition, a spring fertilizer dressing would be good too, but regarding lime, there are many different types of sages (Salvia is a huge plant family), but in general they are not as specific about needing a higher pH. Most of the ornamental Salvias and edible sages thrive perfectly well in most soils that are around neutral - so as long as your soil is not at either extreme end of the spectrum (which most soils aren't), you shouldn't need to adjust things much. Its still worth doing a test occasionally, just to be aware and monitor things.
@@OverdevestNurseries thank u sooo much!
