Here's my lavender harvest for this year
these are mini-English lavender
which have a sweeter fragrance
These are French lavender
which are longer stemmed
but a less sweet fragrance.
After blooming lavender should be cut back
by one third to prevent sprawling and splitting branches.
Below are some photos from my former California gardens:

On my trip through 6 different gardens last Friday, I saw lots of lavender. I also couldn't resist a touch of the flowers to smell it too. One might have been that French variety, because though it looked like a lavender, it didn't have any scent.
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara, thanks, there is Spanish that has no scent, the French and English do have scent but the English is sweeter
