English Lavendars
I recently pruned my English lavendar plants and they have all died.
Any ideas what I did wrong? |

A bare stem will die back to its parent branch. Also, lavenders prefer a relatively dry soil. When the demand for moisture is reduced because foliage has been reduced, cut back on watering. Otherwise, the plant might rot. -- David E.
