  • I planted a couple small lavender plants last year, and it made a nice bush. It grew about 2 feet, but not many flowers. Pretty plant though.

    We are coming into spring, and about to get my garden going. Should I cut my lavender plant back now, and as short as you showed?

    I hope to get an answer, as I am one of your most watched fans. By the way, you never replied, when I asked - Why did you cut your hair! PEACE Bro.

  • hey, i dont always reply to comments because i get heaps. id leave the plant, prune after flowering, feed it now tho, hair...was getting too hot man.

  • i'd still prune it but not so hard, conditions sound harsh so you need to leave it enough to get by on even tho its dormant, prune harder late winter/early spring, hope this helps!

  • it will require a good amount of sun to flower, maybe some fertiliser too. thats the usual reasons, hope this helps!

  • Are these pruning methods for any variety of lavender? I just planted one of a Spanish variety (otto quast). Would appreciate a response for anyone out there.

  • Another great tip.. no wonder my lavender bush is the size of a small sheep!

    My rosemary bush is way overgrown now too, the stem would do for a railway sleeper.. I guess I shoulda pruned it like this too? Cheers

  • Do you ever respond to your video comments? Any point in asking you questions? Just wondering.......

  • hmm, I guess it's a good idea to do that especially colder places like Pittsburgh(here I am)It dies back a bit.

    I planted some that grew great but died when we had a very cold -5F, er that's -23C. I had a cold backyard then, very dark in the winter.

  • Hi I planted lavender this spring - south facing in a bed at the front of the house. It grew to about a foot tall but never did flower? Any idea why ? thanks so much
