Pull lavender cuttings
The best time to grow a lavender is spring or summer. However, you should cut the lavender cuttings no later than the end of July, as they need at least six weeks to take root. Lowerers, on the other hand, can only be set in the spring, as they can not be separated from the mother plant after three months at the earliest.
Increase lavender with cuttings
Lavender is quite easy to propagate over cuttings. In many cases, it is better to take lumber from an old, woody lavender bush and then either cut back the mother plant neatly - to "rejuvenate" as the gardener says - or remove it altogether. For the cuttings propagation itself, proceed as follows:
Increase lavender over the sinker
Instead of cutting the cuttings, you can also use them as so-called sinkers. For this purpose, the sticks do not have to be cut off, but can remain on the mother plant until they have developed roots themselves.
Tips & Tricks
Sometimes the advice is to divide large lavender bushes for propagation. However, this is hardly possible with lavender, after all it is not about perennials, but about old woody shrubs.
