4. Pruning
Pruning is an essential part of proper care of any plant. When you prune your lavenders, it will help them grow out faster and keep them healthy. It will also keep them looking nice for all your neighbors to see.
Lavenders will bloom on new stems so the best time prune it would be late in the season. You should start pruning your lavenders on their second year, and then annually from there on out. You should never cut more than a third of the plant in one session.
Always cut with caution to ensure that you don’t damage their stems. Pruning helps your lavender grow, but cutting their stems will lead to death. If you want to keep your lavender tidy and neat, be sure to prune it at least three times throughout the season. You don’t have to go for all three times though, the exact volume comes down to preference.
