Lavender pruning
Hello all...
I have a massive great lavender hedge that gets very little sun so it doesnt flower very much but it is in spectacular health none the less. I would love to give it a jolly good haircut but is this time of year ok to do that??? Regards Flossie |

You can do it any time, unless you have frosts, but don't cut back behind
the green growth or it will die. Cheers, Alwynne "Flossie" wrote in message ... Hello all...

Lavender pruning
I am no lavender expert but have grown many many plants in my Mandurah
garden over the years. When they become "leggy" I have chopped them right back to the main trunk and they have regrown wonderfully. Many of my plants are now around 8 years old! It may be the climate where I live I am not sure but I know my husband - prior to our marriage - used to "trim" his with his rotary lawn mower and they always came back. He is definitely not a gardener!! but I love him all the same. Sue. Karratha WA. |
