Lavender plants are a popular choice for gardeners as they are relatively low maintenance and add beauty to all gardens they grow in with their stunning blooms
Lavender plants are a stunning addition to any garden, with their beautiful blooms and fragrant presence, as highlighted by expert Alan Titchmarsh.
Other types wait until midsummer to reveal their flowers, which then last well into the late summer months. He advised: "To prolong the life of your lavender plants, prune them every summer just as the flowers are beginning to fade."It's important not to cut back into the woody stems because lavender struggles to produce new growth from old stems.
Gardeners can continue to snip sprigs during autumn as well, when the scent is still potent, but it's crucial to trim before the blooms start to lose their colour.
