"Wonderful picture Cathy. Is it a Silver Boardered Fritillary?"
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.

"Clare, My three year old Baptista finally bloomed this year but just one stem. Lots of green very little indigo. Any suggestions?"
