How to Prune French lavender?
(Lavandula dentata)
French lavender, also known as Toothed lavender
Esteemed for its fragrant, gray-green foliage and purple blooms, french lavender thrives with regular pruning. To promote bushy growth, remove spent flowers and lightly shape after blooming, ideally in late summer or early fall. Pruning back up to one-third annually rejuvenates the plant. Avoid cutting into old wood, as new shoots may not regenerate. Pruning enhances air circulation and flowering in french lavender, keeping it compact and healthy.
