Lavender ready for a good spring renovation? Look for new leaf buds along the lower woody parts of the plants. You can cut to this new growth to encourage it to fill in along the base. The new spring growth is all aglow on variegated Platinum Blonde™ Lavender. Best to trim this one lightly in the fall so you can enjoy the fab color of the new spring growth. – Cut the typical English lavender (angustifolia)-L. ‘Hidcote” shown here and Spanish (stoechas) in the early spring to revive woody growth and shape for the season.
