Woody lavender?

[WipsGlitter]

I have a small lavender bush, there are new green leaves appearing but the bottom looks a bit woody. Can I improve how it looks or leave well alone.

It's still a bit early to be pruning lavender - if there's a late frost, the plant would be susceptible to frost damage. When you do prune it, don't cut right back to the old wood as the plant won't regenerate - read the advice from the RHS here.

Thanks. Am a crap gardener, but that looks like a useful site!

Ah .... so not a baby name thread then ... was about to go

Wips - The RHS site has an advice page for virtually everything. It is fab (and no, I'm not on a retainer).
