Haha LAVENDER looks a bit barren but it’s only a few weeks away from swelling into action for spring. Hopefully!
.
We haven’t been consistently pruning them over the last couple of years and this has caused the shrub to develop woody hardwood stems 😧
.
For this reason, we had to take a bit of a risk and give it a hard prune right down to the woody growth section 😳
.
Typically, you shouldn’t prune LAVENDER plants that low (or more like don’t allow their hardwood stems (older than 1 year) to grow too large/tall unchecked
.
The skill behind LAVENDER pruning is not to stop the woody growth but rather delay the inevitable as much as possible
.
As these plants age, they will naturally get woodier, but the idea is that after the end of every flowering season, they be pruned back a couple or so centimetres above the junction where hardwood (> 1 year old) meets semi-hardwood (last 12 months growth) in the aim of rejuvenating a flush new growth in the coming spring
.
By pruning at that level, there is only a very small amount of new wood growth visible so the plant still looks healthy and you are not exposing its age very noticeably! 😂
.
Fingers crossed ours will recover due to our complacency but we can see lots of light green tissue on the incision points🤞
.
Do you have a favourite way of pruning LAVENDER?
