Deebie said:It blooms on new wood. That explains why all of my flowers are at the tips of tall thin branches. I'm in zone 8a. Do you all think that it's too late to prune and fertilize my ROS? It's a double lavender, in full sun, and we get plenty of moisture here (especially during August) with high humidity.


I prune mine in spring right as buds start to grow. I think you can fertilize a little to boost it for next year. Fertilize right as buds open next year and about every 2 weeks until you have flowers. Keep well watered!
