I have read somewhere (sorry--I don't remember where!) that it is best to
replace Lavenders every three or four years. Two years ago I planted a
lavender "hedge" with Lavandula dentata, L. stoechas, and L. x intermedia
'Grosso' (perhaps "Provence). The hedge now is in full bloom, but is
beginning to get a little out of hand. It is beloved by bees and numerous
hummingbirds here in Los Angeles.
Do others have experience on whether it is better to replace the plants or
to do some judicious pruning of new growth?
