I have a 3 and a half foot lavender bush that is about 6 years old. We had one heck of an ice storm in February. I guess the ice flattenned the bush from the middle out. It actually looks like someone set in the middle of it. Branches are not broken. I would like your suggestions as what to do with this plant. Should I prune it? It looks unsightly as it is. Or, perhaps I should wait and see if it well "green up on the branches. The branches are about 1 3/4" in diameter.
#2. I have lavender growing along a sidewalk (including the one that looks like it got sat on--It is at the beginning of this "hedge".
I planted the lavender according to directions but I have found that it should have been planted further away from the sidewalk as now it covers up about 1/3 of the sidewalk. Should I trim them back? I don't think I can move them.
I love lavender and do nothing with it but look at it and smell it. I have read that you are NOT suppose to prune lavender. I need to study up on how to dry lavender and make lavender soap (love it).
Side note: My son pruned the heck out of one of my lavenders. It took two years to grow out but it did grow out. |
