Some one threw away a beautiful lavender topiary Spanish lavender. I picked it up and am hoping to keep it alive indoor. I have plenty of daylight where I will attempt to save it. Thank you for all the awesome information.
Great video and explanation! I’ve been searching for this. I only just have lavender and rosemary cuttings which I’m trying to root so I’m hoping to make one of each into a topiary. Much love from South Africa
I have been trying to do this for over a year and this is the first detailed tutorial I have found. Thank you so much for posting! I'm curious how long it takes the stems to become hardwood? My cuttings are all soft.
So much depends on your area and the type of Lavender. This one really wasn't the best choice as the flower stems grow so tall. I need to redo this video. I would say the lavender in this video were about a year old.
thank you for this video, I started a ton of lavender this summer so I am going to try this. I don't know though do I take them all inside this winter or keep in unheated greenhouse? any clue? deezie
If they are hardy in your location you can keep them outdoors though I would keep them up against the house for added protection. If they are not hardy in your area then bringing them in and placing in a very bright window would be necessary.
Thanks don’t have much hope but will try anyway just finished trimming looks like growth on bottom stems still will try terra cots pots little water and sunny window still wondering about soil though don’t want leave them in the box store soil humm? What do u use
a year isn't too long to wait for woody trunks. I have 2 that successfully rooted this season so maybe by next season they will be the ideal height. Thank you for your response!
I have done this with many types of lavender. This one is Grosso, I do believe. But I have done it with English Lavender, Hidcote, and some I don't know what they are as I got the cuttings from a friend.
Mine is grown already just purchased 2 from Lowe’s I live in northern climate zone 3 they r Spanish lavender they r overgrown there ball shape or is now fall I want to trim and being in the house for. Winter . I heard they like sandy gravel soil was thinking of repotting them in succulent soil with added sand. Also was going to trim them back to the spree shape although will have to cut woody part to do this. Any tips Thanks great video
Actually I have had little success bringing mine into the house. Mainly because I have such low light conditions. I have not dealt with Spanish lavender but cutting back into woody growth is only advisable if you can see green growth coming from it lower than where you plant to cut. Make sense? They do like drier conditions and that is why I like terra cotta pots. You can see if the base is wet and if you need to water. Also it breathes so plants like lavender do better in them.

I hope it revives for you. I have never been successful with Lavender indoors so let me know how it goes.

I wish you success. I am just starting a few more of a different type of lavender and hope it roots as quickly!
Thank you for the great video!
You are welcome.

thank you so much***@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse
Brilliant. I always wanted to know how.
I have a few different ones, it is so interesting how different varieties perform. Some get taller and others stay shorter.

Your thoughts of cactus or succulent mix should work great. Nice drainage which they love.

What levander need to be for this levander tree or l can try on eny levander l like?
I just experiment. Cuttings for me are free. Some say Spanish lavender is best as the blooms are shorter but I can't attest to that.
How long does it take for it to become a round full smallish topiary ?
It takes probably a good 3 years to become a nice looking topiary.

thanks, have a great day!
