Hi... what kind of lavender is this?... Good video.

[@plantvibrations]

Grosso lavender!

I have my lavender bush next to my butterfly bush. The butterfly bush just takes over. This is my 3rd summer with both. I never pruned o will prune both soon. I'm in nj so really hasn't warmed up yet.

[@plantvibrations]

You can prune them now! Prune the buddleja back hard, check out the video I made showing how

My 3 year old lavender has never flowered. I have also NEVER pruned and am scared it will hurt my plant. I'm in 6B. I think I have Munstead? Lavender?

[@plantvibrations]

Munstead is a classic cultivar of Lavender. Dont be scare to prune it, you are only hurting it by not pruning it! is it is full sun? they need lots of sunlight to flower well. pruning will also help with that

[@07kenna07]

@@plantvibrations They are in full sun! I pruned them yesterday. Hopefully that will help! Fingers crossed!

[@TheDestefano4]

Thanks Devon. Any suggestions drying lavender?

[@plantvibrations]

yeah totally, you can literally just cut off the stems and place them somewhere to dry, like in the garage or in an open box and once the foliage dries out just use gloved hands and slide the foliage off the stem!

[@EliteStricker]

Planted some lavender this year, i actually haven't pruned them this year, should I prune them for winter when I cut back lantanas and then prune again in March

[@plantvibrations]

Hi! I would wait to do any pruning until the spring. Pruning now can cause desiccation in the stems causing you to lose more of your plant. I only ever prune my lav in the spring

[@EliteStricker]

@@plantvibrations okay thanks, so should i prune them every spring and then just the tips during summer?

[@lilklevenhagen]

I'm right on the line of zone 7b/8a and so we're already into 75-80 degree weather, but it's still spring. I planted the lavender last summer and it looks like it's already got new growth on it this year. Should I prune now or wait?

[@plantvibrations]

i would still prune it! or else it will likely get too leggy by mid summer

[@dbluehorsedeboe5567]

I have some new plants that have new sprigs. Is this normal. The plants are still small

[@plantvibrations]

Yeah that is normal. they can take a while to get started

[@dbluehorsedeboe5567]

@@plantvibrations are you familiar with other herbs? I have parsley and basil. The basil isn't full and it is light green. I know it needs something, not sure what. Thanks

Your lavender looks dead 💀

[@plantvibrations]

lol it had just gone through winter so it needed to be pruned for fresh growth. it is still alive.
