Lavender typically grows back each spring after going dormant in winter. The timing for lavender to start growing back depends on your climate zone, but generally, you can expect new green growth in spring, around mid-April in warmer zones like Zone 8. In colder climates, it may be as late as June before lavender "comes back to life" from dormancy. Key points about lavender regrowth:
- Lavender plants go dormant in winter and start showing fresh green growth in spring.
- The new growth usually emerges from the woody base of the plant.
- With proper pruning, lavender will grow back each spring and bloom mainly in summer.
- Lavender reaches full maturity and optimal blooming in about 3-5 years.
- It's important to be patient after winter, as some lavender may take longer to show signs of life and may appear dead prematurely.
So, if your lavender is alive, expect it to start growing back in spring, usually between April and June depending on your local climate.
