Chillin' In The Garden
I planted some lavender in front of my house last year. It was vigorous and grew into a pretty large patch. I did not cut it back in the fall because I did that to some lavender before and it killed it, so I just left it alone.
This spring it is blooming on the old wood, but not fully. It looks awful, it is straggly and half dead and if I prune off the dead wood the new growth will look very odd.
So my question is this-how do I properly cut back lavender? Obviously it has to be done to avoid what I have this year, but how do I know how much is too much? What do you do?
