Woody, leggy lavender that splits open in the middle? You're one
prune away from bringing it back. 💜

Lavender that's never pruned turns into a sprawling woody mess —
bare gray stems, a hollow collapsed center, and fewer flowers every
year. The fix is simple, but the TIMING and the LIMIT are everything.

THE ONE RULE THAT SAVES LAVENDER:
⚠️ NEVER cut into the old, bare, woody stems. Lavender does NOT
reliably regrow from old wood. Cut too far back and you can kill
the plant. Always leave some green growth on every stem.

HOW TO PRUNE IT RIGHT:

1️⃣ WHEN: Prune right after the first flush of flowers fades
(mid-to-late summer). A lighter tidy-up can also be done in early
spring.

2️⃣ HOW MUCH: Cut back about ONE-THIRD of the plant — into the green,
soft growth only. Shape it into a tidy rounded mound.

3️⃣ THE SHAPE: Aim for a dome. Rounded mounds shed rain, resist
splitting, and look full. Trim evenly all around.

4️⃣ NEVER: Don't cut below the lowest green leaves into the gray
woody base. That part rarely comes back.

WHY PRUNING MAKES MORE FLOWERS:
Every time you trim into green growth, the plant branches out from
that point — more branches means more flower spikes next season. A
well-pruned lavender can DOUBLE its blooms.

THE PREVENTION:
Prune lightly EVERY year from the start. A lavender that's tidied
annually never goes woody in the first place. The woody mess only
happens after years of neglect.

A SAD CASE NOTE:
If your lavender is already mostly bare wood with little green left,
pruning may not fully revive it. Sometimes the kindest move is to
take cuttings from the healthy green tips and start fresh — lavender
roots easily from cuttings.

Sun, good drainage, and one annual prune. That's all lavender ever
really wanted.
