lavender 2cd season

21 years ago

I ordered a bare root of lavender last spring and was so pleased that it grew so well. since I am new and unfamiliar I did not cut it back in the fall. I just mulched. So now that spring is here I am unsure how much if any do I cut back? Is this a easy plant to divide? if so when is the best time?

thanks

A Haerthy welcome to MG and the garden web.

Let them grow another season, then try to divide them, fall of this year would be good to divide them. Trim all the dead twigs this spring, thus having a bloom on some of them for your spring, after flowering -cut off the spent flowering barnches , you can use those in your house for a nice fragrance. Then in fall - use a sharp spade or knife- please be careful with sharp objects, and you are in bussiness.

Happy spring. Good to have you on the MG.

And just when you give up and think it's not coming back this year, it starts leafing out. It's slow, so be patient!
