Lavender enthusiasts, take heed! Plant experts @plantvibrations shared have valuable tips on pruning this fragrant plant to ensure a bountiful bloom. In their latest YouTube video, the horticultural experts revealed that pruning lavender twice a year is key to achieving the healthiest plants with an abundance of flowers.
According to the experts, early spring and summer are the optimal times to trim lavender plants. However, for those looking to maximize their lavender’s potential, there is an additional pruning opportunity during the “peak bloom season.” By cutting back one-third of the foliage at this time, it is possible to encourage a second flush of flowers the towards end of summer or the beginning of autumn.
There is also an added benefit for those who prune during the flowering season: the cuttings can be repurposed into beautiful bouquets to decorate your home. Simply tie up the stems and hang them to dry, infusing your living space with both beauty and fragrance, as reported by the Express.
Viewers of the video have expressed their appreciation for the advice. One commented, “Thank you so much! I really want to grow some lavender one day!”
