Very nice...

This was very helpful. I was always worried about overpruning my lavender and couldn't understand why it got so leggy. Thanks!

what type of lavender did you use to make the wreath?

[LavenderLynn]

Sarah mentioned the name of a variety of lavender that she grows as Grosso. She called this a "French" variety. Grosso is NOT a "French" Lavender. It's identified as: Lavandula x intermedia or Lavandin and is best detailed in a book called: "The Genus Lavandula". This book is the most comprehensive account of lavender identification, to date. 

"French" varieties of lavender have a "toothed or fringed" foliage and is catorgorized in "The Genus Lavandula" as: Lavandula x Dentata.

Thanks!

Thanks Lynn. Actually, if you want to get technical, it's not "Lavandula x Dentata" X means cross and the botanical name does not have an x associated with it unless it is crossed with another sub species. I use "The Genus Lavandula" as a guide and it is a wonderful reference book. French, Spanish, English are all terms that have been misused in the lavender world. I used it for simplicity, as most people in the US associate lavendins with "French".

Yes, we all make mistakes. The "x" means it's a cross. I should have written: L. Dentata var. Dentata. I think the unfortunate issue in America is that "miss-naming" for simplicity purpose is something all of us "Professional Lavender Growers", should avoid. It is our responsibility, to give the people who look to us for answers as much accuracy as possible. Our clients will learn more about the species, and look at us as a knowledgeable & trust worthy resource for accurate information. Thanks!

Wow, the reef is gorgeous!!

I just got a lavender plant and I must say the pruning part was scaring me. However this video has given me some hope that I won't kill my plant. lol

Thanks!
