Re: Lavender lovers
Nan,
I've having trouble seeing what is dead. Several of the leaves are dried up
but when I cut into the old wood there is green inside. Will the new leaves
come on the old wood or start at the top? If they are at the top I would want
to prune to keep the shape compact and prevent stragliness ( is this a word?).
Any help is appreciated.
