When is it the first time you should prune a lavender plant? I've started mine from seed, the smallest have reached 15cm and the tallest 60cm or so. I live in a temperate area and have no risk of frosts. Also do they naturally form into bushes or do I have to prune them in a way to do form these bushes? Thank you.

Hello, so in the first year you should not let the plant bloom for a better root development,and in the fall or when the temperature is droping below 20 celsius degrees you should give it a prune to prepare it for the next season. If you have no season when the plant is getting dormit, a semi winter you consider the harvesting time as pruning, and just let it be. If you prune the plants, all of them will become bushes, some of them like the Grosso or Folgate have a round natural tendency, but all of them will become bushes, that is one of the main reason for pruning. Keeping the plant tight in the form that you want and keep in mind, where you cut....that is the place where two or more shoots will grow therefore more flowers! 😊

I had always heard that you should never prune lavender hard, but you do and quite successfully! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@TheLavenderFarmer]

Glad to be helpful. Yes, you shouldn't prune your lavender very low into the hard wood, but if you see new green buds inside the plant and the plant is very leggy, you can prune it all the way to that little green buds! 🤗

How do I propagate lavender?

[@TheLavenderFarmer]

Hello, i have a video on the channel that its about propagating lavender, hope it helps! 🤗

[@Islandgirl4ever2]

Thanks, just found your channel and subbed.. I cut mine back for the first time in fall... the results of my work shows beautifully this spring as it is starting to grow back nicely... Nice round shape... Thanks for your video.. I live in France, zone 8b

[@TheLavenderFarmer]

So glad to be helpful, i would love to live in France in that zone! I would stay in a small old house and a lavender farm! 🤗 See you on the next video, have a beautiful weekend!

I pruned my English lavender in January (zone 8b Vancouver Canada) and now I see half of it with new green growth on the old stems, and the other half still looks bare wood. Does this mean half of the plant is dead? Thanks...

[@TheLavenderFarmer]

You can go and scratch a little into the stems and see if there are still green inside, give it a little time. Sometimes it happens to me also, half of the plant its starting faster than the other, unfortunately some of the plants dont recover that half but they will start new branches from the bottom of the plant!
