Keep Your Lavender Lush: Expert Tips for Healthy Growth

Gardening Tips for Lush Lavender: Why Pruning Matters Maintaining healthy lavender plants can seem challenging, but with the right techniques, your lavender can thrive for years to come. According to Michael, a gardening expert and Dobbies Brand Ambassador, the key to preventing spindly growth is regular pruning. "If you don’t prune your lavender every year, the rate at which it becomes woody will increase," he explains in a recent video. This simple practice not only slows down the woody growth but also improves blooms and extends the plant's lifespan. When replacing older lavender plants, Michael advises checking the inside of the plant to ensure it isn't already spindly. He recommends choosing frost-hardy varieties like Lavender Hidcote, which are better suited to colder climates. His tips are accompanied by clear demonstrations, making them easy to implement for gardeners of all levels. By following these simple steps, gardeners can ensure their lavender plants remain vibrant and healthy for years to come.
