Dove - just looked up the lavender site you mentioned. It talks about Lavender stoechas. As far as 'she with little knowledge' can work out this is what I'd call french lavender, which I want for some pots (different ones to mentiones ealier in the week). It says to prune these now (end of August) and dead head regularly.
I live in Vancouver BC Canada. Our climate is very similar to south east portion of the UK. My Spanish Lavender usually doesn't stop flowering until late October/early November. Is it still okay to prune it back then even though it is so late in the season.
Love the site... best one I have found in years. Cheers!

Great advice - thanks Verd and Dove. My lavendars actually came from Norfolk lavender (well some of them anyway) - on one of my Kings Lynn jollies

Wow! Great advice/ideas, everyone!
Have had SOME success i.e. some of the lavender plants have flowered OK - but some have withered & died. I have posted the best
example here :
I don't know which genus this is(!) though - as the labels have been blown away by the wind! Any ideas??
