RE: Lavender: Perennial Flowers into Bonsai Tree [Bonsai]
If its really looking like it wants to die, why not start over with a few fresh cuttings, and keep the best one? Some of my herbs, like thyme and oregano, when they become too woody, they become less productive. That usually is a signal to me, it is time to prune off the old woody parts.
I'm not so sure it wants to die! How can you tell? If it still has the energy to put out a flower when I least expected it to, I can't be swayed to give up on her yet.... Hence my new inspiration to take better care of her. I've heard that digging lavender in a few cm deeper than they stand normally might help... Worth a try, perhaps, next spring....
Very true: refreshing the plant is the best option. But I fear my lavender is all too woody for cuttings...
