Just planted lavender this year. I am late pruning after the bloom. Hoping for another bloom! I am in the middle of Montgomery County. You are the perfect person for me to watch. I am happy to have found you.
Thanks for the info! I feel silly for not knowing this. I only learned about the woody stems within the past year as well. Feels good finally growing it correctly. Not doing this though. Maybe oneday when I have more lavendar. 😊 Beautiful painting!
Kiaora from New Zealand. It is my understanding that lavender is good for inducing sleep and very good for those who suffer from insomnia. Having mentioned this it is not recommended for having in one's motor vehicle. I absolutely love your blog and easy to follow step-by-step instructions and sharing your on hand experiences. Questions, is your garden young and does it snow? Peonies in my area are now available which is absolute heaven, where as they would not take in my zone for lack of snow. Thank you so much.
Hi! Yes my garden is just now entering its third season. In my zone I can grow all types of peonies. I recommend looking into Itoh peonies as they dont necessarily require a freeze. They may work for you
Your Lavender gardens are beautiful. When I lived in TN, my lavender grew exceptionally well, always cutting, but never “cutting back.” Living in KY however, I have planted numerous plants, only to have to replace them the following year. This year, all of them took off, bigger than I have ever seen them here. They looked promising. We have had alot of rain this year, and I haven’t had the need to water them. With a back injury, I wasn’t able to tend to them for a mere 2 weeks, and now, 2 of the plants are drying out and have grey bunches on the outer sides of them. My question is…. should I cut the (dead?) grey parts off and to the ground? Will my plant survive? I don’t see any disease, fungus, or bugs in them, and I am wondering if they may have just needed water )even though we had many deluge days during my time down). The top soil was dry. plants on either side of two of those greyed plants are thriving, so I am baffled. Any suggestions? Thank you!😁
Hey Devon, I am in a nearby area to you (southern NJ). I did not prune back my first year of growing lavender in the fall. Can I safely do it in the spring? What do you recommend? Thanks love your videos.
I am in the same zone as you and just planted lavender in late August. Some of the lavender is doing beautifully and some have died already. They were in the same conditions, well draining soil? Any ideas what could’ve gone wrong with some of the plants? It’s strange because they both got the equal amount of sunlight and water?
Dude...when you do a video, at least pull your weeds and clean up the landscaping. What I'm seeing in this video is that you, the expert gardener, doesn't take care of the property, so why should I take advice from YOU??
The advice you are learning is that a garden is not a place of perfection. Never has been and never will be. Furthermore, I have a 3 acre garden that I maintain myself.
I’m from the same growing zone! This video was so helpful and perfect timing for me. Thank you! I’m very happy I found your channel!
You are so welcome! Happy to be of help
Very inspirational video. I love where you hang them beside your mom’s painting. Thanks for sharing!

Yes cut the grey sections out as long as possible and with time the pre existing healthy sections will fill those voids out!
@@plantvibrations Thank you so much!😁
Thank you. I’m in Maryland I’m assuming since you’re in PA ican prune now
It’s still a little early for me in my garden

Yes do so in spring! I am planning on making a new lav spring pruning video

Hmm that shouldn’t have happened but it’s a bit tough to say without seeing thek
Very enjoyable task I miss, I wish I could find one that could survive in zone-4.
Dang, yeah most are only good until zone 5
I’ve just started pruning my lavender plants -16 of them, they are past prime color now so should I just discard them?
The flowers would be great in sachet bags
Can we prune less of a length than the 2nd or 3rd leaf?
Yes just don’t prune into the wood
If your prune in early summer, do you need to prune again after they bloom in the Fall?
Yes it would be best
Couldn’t bear to cut mine the bees were loving them 🤷🏼♂️
Mine are now reblooming!
👍👍！
:)
I got 4 lavender plants this past spring. I cut one of them too low and now it’s dead completely. I made a mistake, I should have been more careful.
We’ve all done it!
