Lavender may be low-maintenance when it comes to water and soil, but pruning is where many gardeners can sometimes go wrong.
⚠️ Avoid the temptation to cut it all the way back—removing too much will stress the plant and prevent regrowth. Instead, stick to light shaping and deadheading after blooms, never cut into woody growth, and never remove more than a third of the plant. Timing matters too—different lavender types require different schedules.
