Hello, I actually came here for lavender advice. I’m from the UK, but I must say your voice is very delightful. A great watch :)

Thanks Chris, I hope you found the video helpful!

This was a very helpful video. This is exactly what happened to my lavender plant that was so beautiful last year. Hopefully I have a green enough thumb to save it. Thanks for the tips

It was a long winter and the cool nights with no moisture do not encourage new growth. We are just beginning to see our lavenders greening up now. I never give up on them until May 🌿

Thanks for giving me hope for my lavender! I didn't know I had to prune it in the first year. I ended up pruning it in spring after I saw tiny tiny green leaves popping out inside. The green parts did come out more but I have some lavenders with one side green and the other side stayed woody and brown. I read that if you cut the woody stems they could die.. so I'm afraid to cut them.. but the OCD in me makes me want to get rid of the Brown half ...

Hi there, it sounds like maybe your lavender has suffered from wind burn over the winter, which sometimes explains why only half of it may be damaged. As long as you don't cut into the main base of the plant, you can trim away the dead, woody sections without harming the plant. Good luck!

@@okanaganlavenderherbfarm1994 thank you for your advice! 3/4 of my lavender ended up growing into nice bushes and bloomed last week! I have one that is half bush with a few blooms and the other half of it is all short woody branches and a few green leaves at the end with no blooms... I'm wondering if I should just cut those woody branches despite the green leaves at the end. It's also not growing into a round bush like the others but all the green parts are growing more straight up.

It's great to hear that most of your lavender has recovered! For the bush that is struggling, I'd recommend cutting the woody branches down to the base and hopefully the healthy part of the plant will take over. Hope this helps!

Thank you for such a great tip! Great way to reroot without removing it from the mother plant to soon. I'm in Michigan in the U.S and I cut back my lavender and sage today. Im new to trimming and pruning these type and in the past I've cut them back to much and they didn't come back very healthy the following year. So I'm being very careful this year when pruning for the winter. I have a question, if u don't mind? Should I blanket the lavender with leaves over the winter? It's just a thought so that the cold doesn't damage it over the winter. Thanks for sharing and take care-Debbie

Hi Debbie, when pruning your lavender in the fall, it's important to cut at the base of the flower stem but not into the leafy part of the plant. Hard pruning is best to do in the spring when the risk of frost has passed. Snow is a good insulator and you can pack leaves around it if you're concerned about the cold, but sometimes cold winter temperatures can damage a plant despite our best efforts! Best of luck!

Hello, So if I have a house Lavender is ALL "dead" is there any way to bring it back to life? LOL

Unfortunately if there is no green growth left on the plant then it is probably dead... An easy way to check is to trim a stem right to the base of the plant and check the colour of the inside of the stalk - if it is grey and brittle then it is dead, but if it is supple and green, you can do a hard pruning and hopefully bring the plant back!
