Deadheading Lavender in the Late Summer Garden
มุมมอง 54K5 ปีที่แล้ว
Lavender is one of the very best xeric (waterwise) shrubs. And August is a good month for deadheading lavender plants. Proper pruning and deadheading of lavender plants will increase your harvest of flower spikes for dried flowers and make your plants more beautiful and healthy.

How to trap gophers in Santa Fe, NM

David and Humberto show us how to set a gopher trap.
Thank you for the video. I live in San Diego, CA, what time of year should I do this? How often?
I just cut them 2 inches from the ground and I get crazy growth
Awesome tips thank you.
Thank you ❤!
Just cut it
Dude you gotta be crazy... if you have 4 ok, but ive got like 50
Hi! What month do you do this? My tenussima stipa is looking quite dead (we are in London UK), should I try cutting it back more hard to see if it comes back or is it just not waking up yet?
Just the tip. 🤣🤣 Edit: The look at 1:19 he gave me after I posted the comment was eerie.
Thanks for the video. At what time of year should you cut tenusimma stipa grasses back like this?
Thank you for posting this. I love feather grass and planted a few in my front yard. Started to notice its gotten too heavy and falling down. Wasn't sure how to prune it and get rid of the dead ends. This was a very helpful video.
Does this attract ticks?
What do you recommend with phenomenal lavender? I planted this year in April and they bloomed. Now the stems are starting to turn yellow on some of the plants. Is this a problem or normal?
Lavender Phenomenal and all other lavenders should be deadheaded after blooming in spring or summer. Cut the old flowering stem back just as it sticks out of the foliage. If some of the plants are turning yellow, it suggests to me that they may be overwatered. They will only need watering twice weekly at this point with a gallon of water each time. If watering is more frequent, cut back to the schedule suggested above. If you used a compost or wood chip or bark mulch, pull it back any mulch around the yellow plants to reveal the bare soil.
I got a lavender plant and planted 1 of them in the ground but it started turning brown. Some of it is still alive though. Will it come back if i deadhead it?
Perhaps. Is it strongly rooted and pushing new growth?
Type of plant?
This plant is Nassella tenuissima , the common name is Mexican Feather Grass.
Your video is short and sweet. Cuts (pun intended) to the point and exactly what I wanted to know. (Most can learn from you!) Thank you again.
Thank you, Karen :)
What is the yellow plant on the right?
I would only have one. Looks like too much work. The clean up.
Thank You.
Should edit this to include a close up of the location for the cut
Thanks for the comment, Stuart. We're plant folks and are looking for additional help with videography and editing. Hopefully, we'll get additional footage this year.
@@waterwisegardeningllc79 For help with editing etc try Fiverr. A great platform for getting work done.
@@NetAHampstead We'll check that out. I've been on Fiverr and need to take the next step. Thanks for the gentle nudge.
@@waterwisegardeningllc79 I thought the same...as soon as the snipping started I wanted a close up! I think they’re pretty hardy shrubs and I likely can’t go too wrong!
Hi, How would you trim the blue fescue grass? In a similar way?
Yes, comb it out and trim off any dead tips.
Isn’t it easier and better for the grass to just be cut back?
Yes, it would be easier but with this particular grass, Silky thread grass, it's necessary to comb out the old spikes. I f you just cut Mexican feather grass, the new growth comes out of a flat surface and it looks really strange. If you have this particular grass, it's worth the extra effort.
