Solving Omlet Smart Auto Door Timing Issues with Alexa Routines

[Luvachicken]

I only have a tiny space in front of my new chicken run and thought I could plant some lavenders in the space.

They are evergreen aren't they ?

And they supposedly keep away flies ?

 

But how can I keep them small ?

I know you trim them in August after they finish flowering but is that enough to keep them small ?

 

If not, any other suggestions for something that lives a long time, keeps flies away and has some pretty flowers and is small ?

I have one that's only 2 years old and is still pretty small. I just chopped off a few leggy branches off the sides to tidy it up so I assume you can just chop off as much as you want to keep it the size you want .

Thanks Ain't "Ooops, word censored!"ody Here, I will go and get some then and then plant them when the weather is a bit nicer

Lavender plants come in different sizes - make sure you choose a compact one.

 

I've bought plants from Downderry Nurseries and they were good plants.

Thanks for that

I didn't realise there were quite so many different sorts of lavender.

I had already bought Hidcote as the man at the garden centre said they could be used as edgeing and would stay small.

I hope they do.

Now I just need some nice weather to plant them.

Keep them in a pot and trim every year, that keeps mine small
