A Guide to Lavender : Pruning Lavender

this stuff smells really good.
i was with someone who picked it and rubbed it on their hands... now i pick it and leave it in my pockets. it has a really nice fragrance and i smell it when i sit down.

I wonder at what season is she pruning this plant. My lavender plant doesnt look like this.

me too...i dont get it.

In years 1 & 2 you say to prune the plants to 2 inches above the woody area. When you are pruning the 3 year old lavender in this video, you didn't mention how close to the woody area you are pruning. About how many inches above the woody area are you pruning here for your 3 year old plant?

Great, clear. I'm going to go prune my lavender now.

Thank you for the video - I've read about this on several sites but seeing how to do it makes a huge difference. I've got several Hidcotes planted in 2 treepits a year ago in front of our house in Providence. They seem to love the lousy soil and bright sun but dog urine is a real killer! Thanks again.

the most helpful site on the web, thanks!

Thanks for all the helpful tips. PEACE.
