Can I prune and transplant lavender now?

[KatyMac]

Or is it too late?

I asked last autumn but in the house move aftermath I didn't get outside

I also have hebes....what can I do with them?

I wouldn’t prune either at this time you risk removing the flowering tips. You can move or repot them, as long as their not too large. Give them plenty of water and a feed.

Ooops! I may lose the Hebe then - it's pot bound and leggy!

See?

The Hebe looks quite distressed, but you could save it, they are quite tough!
Maybe, get a larger pot, perhaps round or square, so that it’s deeper. Then prune it, you may have to resign yourself to lack of flowers, but it might flower later on some new growth.
When you repot, make sure you use good quality compost, feed and water well. Make sure you keep it damp, so you don’t add extra stress. It will probably be ok. Worth a try.

It's going in the ground - I hope that's OK for it

I'll get some compost - I was hoping to put some gravel round it, what do you think?

I may cut away obviously dead bits a week or so after I transplant it I guess, then see how he goes

Going in the ground sounds ok. Cut the dead bits and any spindly bits before planting. It puts less stress on the plant.
I moved around 50 pots of plants to a new house, a couple of years ago. They had to spend 4 months at my sons house. They all survived, just.

If you have some nice new shoots on the hebe you could take cuttings - they are quite fast growing.

Una that might be beyond me......repotting is a massive over reach tbh

I do NOT have green fingers - I look at plants at Tesco or B&Q and decide not to buy as it's cruel!

BE CAREFUL - when you prune either Hebe or Lavender, if you cut into the dead wood, it won't re grow. Each stem has a woody 'dead' (not actually dead) part and then the top third ish has leaves and flowers. If you cut down past the last leaf, it won't reshoot.

Yes I saw the woody bits that were dead and where possible I have cut to above a shoot? I hope that's right

Several stems were dread right to the joint so they have gone

Any idea why a shallow(ish) bed has large stones in it (see picture)?

Is my lavender bed - is it worth pruning and replanting?

Or shall I just pull them up? I don't want themthere - somewhere else I could cope with a few of them

oh the other pictures didn't show

The lavender will be fine. ..just cut the long woody bits off just to above the first green bit...a wee trim!!!..let it go this year and then give it a proper prune end of autumn or early next year...wouldn't pull it up at all.

Well it looks better - whether it lives or not.....the jury is out

I can't see how much brick/rubble we got out of that small bed in front of the window
