Since I Learned This, My Lavender Comes Back 100x Stronger Every Spring — Lavender Care

Does your lavender become woody, sparse, and weaker every year? The secret to healthier lavender may be understanding exactly where to prune—and when to leave the plant alone. In this video, discover the essential lavender care technique that helps maintain compact growth, encourage fuller blooms, and support a healthier plant year after year. Learn how to distinguish old woody stems from fresh green growth, why fall pruning matters, and how a lighter spring trim can encourage bushier growth. We'll also cover the three essentials many gardeners overlook: well-drained soil, full sunlight, and careful watering. Plus, learn how to recognize dead stems after winter and prepare your lavender for a stronger growing season. The goal is simple: keep your lavender compact, productive, and covered in fragrant flowers for years to come. Pruning timing depends on your climate and lavender variety.
