Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Lavender, at Squak Mt. Nursery, Issaquah
I have a lot of Lavender in my yard. So do my neighbors, but their’s bloom a lot earlier than mine. This is not all bad as I get to enjoy looking at their Lavender until mine blooms, but mine last at least a month after the other blooms have faded. A negative is that our community gardener wants to cut mine off at the same time while the Lavender in my yard is still looking great. Bummer! They did that just once!
Also, I have heard that you should cut them back almost to the ground in the fall. Is that true?
Squak Mt Nursery is having a class where you can learn about the different varieties of Lavender, how to care for and prune, even how to use these fragrant and beautiful plants. 10:30 am Saturday July 21 in Issaquah. For more info go to www.squakmtnursery.com. I’m hoping to learn something there. 7600 Renton-Issaquah Rd SE, Issaquah, WA 98027
