Autumn brings change and this months blog reflects that theme with haircuts (pruning), and free shipping top of mind.
The first light frost and snow on the volcanic peaks means winter is well on it’s way. We can relax a little bit knowing our lavender has been well pruned (haircuts), weeded and ready to face winter.
We prune our lavender as hard as we can in order to produce as much of a rounded shape as possible. The plants are now well into adulthood, so they definitely taking on a form of their own.
So what is the best method for pruning lavender?
There are many theories as to how best to prune lavender. Different varieties have different needs but for most people and varieties good advice can be found here
We prefer to prune our lavender in early Autumn, before the first frost, and perhaps a light trim just prior to Spring’s first growth.
