No flowers on lavender!
 

My Mum has an enormous Lavender plant in full sun beside her driveway.
I'm afraid I don't know which variety it is, but Mum says 'it's the
common one', whatever that amounts to...

Anyway, the plant gets adequate water and has grown like a weed for the
past three years (has never been fed anything but bird poo from the
aviary next to it) - but no flowers!

Can anyone please suggest what might be causing the lack of flowers?

I have the opposite problem my lavendr, it is in the full sun, not much
water and hasn't grown much or flowered at all for over two years.
Do I need to water more?

will flower in shade, but they are actually sunlovers (having the grey
leaves).

But still a bit weird. You sure it IS a lavender?????

I agree ... its too happy Trish ... you need to stress it out a bit so that
it decides to start the old survival of the species mechanism of flowering!

(PS - we had to cut back our Summer Beauty last weekend ... the one that
snapped in the strong winds a month or two ago... epicormic shoots from
under the break and not a thing happening above it so we amputated :(

Aaaaawwww! I'm so sorry to hear about Summer Beauty! You had such high
hopes of saving her! Thanks for the advice about Mum's lavender. I'll
tell her to chastise it for a while and see if that makes a difference. ;-D
