How to Cut Lavender

To cut, hold the stem and cut no less than 2" above the woody part. Cutting too low down will permanently harm the plant. Bundle your handful of lavender with elastic bands to keep them tidy.

Fresh Cut Lavender Aftercare

If you plan to keep your freshly cut lavender in water, be sure to trim the ends when you get home and change the water daily - the lavender should last for about a week.

Drying Lavender

If you plan to dry your lavender, keep it in the water for no more than 3 days.Trim the ends, and separate your bunch into smaller bundles no larger than 2". Secure the ends with an elastic band and hang it upside down in a dry, dim, space for 2-4 weeks

A fully dry stem should snap easily - not bend - when you break it

Photography is absolutely welcome—and totally encouraged! Snap those gorgeous lavender moments and don’t forget to tag us on social media so we can share the love. Here’s a sweet shot from one of our happy Cut‑Your‑Own Lavender visitors!
