lavender
Should lavender be pruned? if so when and how much. I live in the Willamette valley and have cut them back in the past in the fall, only to lose them. Any ideas?? thanks

I always give my lavender a 'haircut' after it has bloomed. Keeps it from getting too leggy.

Several years ago, I bought the Sunset Western Garden book. It said to prune back immediately after blooming. I have done that and with the older blooms trimmed back some of the supporting stock. I don't trim it severly, and never the real larger woody parts and have done well. Because we are in a colder region, I have chosen the most hardy lavender.

I just prune off the flower stalks in fall or spring.
