If a lavendar bush is all gray is it dead?

1 Answer

Answer :

Lavenders are Mediterranian plants, so they can be a little touch and go in our colder climates.    Here in Massachusetts I wait until late spring to see if the lavender starts making buds along its grey stems.   Usually they make it through and produce buds along the stems;  an occasional branch may have died and have to be pruned back.     Definitely winter mulch helps, as well as planting them in a protected, well-drained area.   So leave your plant unpruned and see how it buds out.  You may be surprised!
