I planted 4 different types of lavender plants about a month ago, nice healthy specimens from a nursery. Two of them, the French lavendula dentata, and the Spanish lavendula stoechas, have a few nice blooms on them which I'd like to pick to dry. Stupid question, but if I pick these few blooms, will these young plants produce more, or should I leave them alone? I don't want to harm their production, considering these are new plants; they're doing SO well, I hate to hurt them.
