TIP OF THE DAY: When should I replace my lavender plants?

Because it is sometimes a short-lived plant, lavender can need replacing every five to six years. However, before you jump to this conclusion when your lavender plant stops thriving or appears leggy or woody, make some cultural changes or conduct a heavy pruning to see if you can you revive or rejuvenate it.

Why is my lavender turning GREY?
Lavender tolerates drought better than too much water. ... Lavender can't tolerate wet feet and will rot or develop fungus problems when soils don't drain. While some lavender varieties naturally have silver or grayish-green foliage, the most likely cause of gray leaves at the bottom of the plant is a drainage problem.

What happens if you don't prune lavender?
Cutting too far back to bare woody stems or removing too much foliage stresses the plant and often kills it. Don't prune your lavender after late August. That encourages tender new growth that'll be killed by winter cold, weakening the plant so it might not make it through another season.

Why is my lavender turning Woody?
Any Lavender that has any age at all tends to get woody at the base. It's just the nature of the beast. Proper pruning can slow this tendency and limit or control it to some extent. Well maintained plants can live for 10 years or more if they are happy where they are planted and conditions are right.

Should I cover lavender for winter?

If you live where subfreezing winter temperatures are common, it's helpful to cover your lavender plants with evergreen boughs once you've had your first frost and the ground is cold. ... The covering also provides protection from cold winter winds that can dry out the plants and cause die-back of stems.

The moment, that one short moment, when three projects come to completion as you are about to start three more.There is a moment when you appreciate your work and look forward to the next "dream." Then chaos, decisions, changes....and then peace....all over again. Gardening is amazing.

It's that time of year.......
