Lavender may be past its summer peak, but September is no time to forget about it. A few simple jobs now can help plants stay healthy as temperatures fall, while also giving you the chance to create new lavender plants for next year.
For US gardeners, the timing will vary considerably by region. In northern states, fall can bring chilly nights and early frosts, while gardeners in the South may still be enjoying warm weather. Wherever you garden, September is a useful month to check your lavender's growing conditions and prepare it for the seasonal shift.
