The newly grown inflorescences will be of uniform height, which is conducive to harvesting. The height of some lavender varieties can reach 90 cm. This method can also be used to promote plants to have more branches and bloom, thereby increasing the harvest. During the flowering period of lavender, trim the flower stems by cutting off two-thirds of it and leaving one-third of the flower stems. It can also be trimmed a few weeks after flowering. During daily planting, dead branches can be cut off at any time.
