It's a question every gardener asks themselves at some point! Lavender is beautiful, smells wonderful, feeds bees, requires little care, and reproduces very easily. It has only one drawback: it ages poorly and tends to become sparse if it isn't regularly pruned to rejuvenate it and maintain its lovely, traditional round and compact shape, which makes it ideal for creating fragrant low hedges at little cost. The only thing it dislikes is being overwatered or having overly damp soil. This is why it's one of the few plants that should not be mulched. It thrives in the dry, calcareous, and well-drained soils of its native Mediterranean region but also grows very well in sand. Today, the most commonly cultivated variety is lavandin (Lavandula x intermedia), a natural hybrid between Lavandula angustifolia (narrow-leaved lavender) and Lavandula latifolia (broad-leaved lavender). Pruning and propagation by cuttings are done in late winter in colder regions, while autumn is the most suitable time in warmer climates. After flowering, the flower stalks can be cut back to avoid unnecessarily exhausting the shrub. When pruning, always leave some green leaves on the surface, as lavender rarely regrows from dry wood. USES OF LAVENDER The dried flowers are used in sachets to scent wardrobes and repel moths. They are also used to make infusions and an excellent honey. And of course, perfume. Propagating Lavender from Cuttings: When and How? Lavender cuttings are taken either in spring, around March-April, or in late summer or early autumn. For successful propagation, the quality of the potting mix is ​​important. It should be light, airy, well-draining, and not too rich (half potting soil, half coarse sand). Take terminal shoots about 10-12 cm long. Remove all the leaves from the lower half of the stem (this is called trimming). Choose shoots that have never flowered. Cut just above and below a node. Insert the cuttings around the edge of the pot, where drainage is better. Take several cuttings per pot. Store the cuttings in partial shade, out of direct sunlight and sheltered from the wind. Avoid overwatering; just keep the soil moist. Cover with a cut-off plastic bottle if you're worried about forgetting to water regularly. Herbaceous cuttings root quickly but are very fragile as they dry out rapidly. Transplant them the following spring, pruning them back hard to encourage bushier growth. Those who follow the lunar calendar propagate lavender by taking cuttings during the waxing moon phase of the lunar cycle, which is believed to promote root development.
