New Video: When to Prune Lavender

I get a lot of questions about when to prune lavender back. The best answer is “now!” Because of this, I wanted to let you know that I just shot a new video on the topic.

And the ever elusive Mr. Bill (a.k.a. “Mr. Pepper”) puts in a guest appearance! He demonstrates his cool tool for trimming back the plants! You won’t want to miss that, right?

I’m hoping to shoot a lot of short how-to videos this season. That way, it’ll be really easy for you to find answers to your burning gardening questions. I hope you’ll enjoy this one, especially right before the end!

Remember to leave the seedheads on your lavender plants this fall so your bird friends can feast on the seeds over the winter months! This means you should wait until spring to prune lavender plants.

Here’s a link to the type of hedge trimmer Bill uses.
