Ive grown lots of lavender from seed they have just flowered but they are tall and skinny with just one flower on each, should i have pinched off center when they were small? I am about to grow a different type for next spring and want to get it right this time. Shall i trim these ones after flowereing will that help to make them bushier?

JUst how tall are they? You should be able to trim them back, I usually do mine when I cut the flowers. A healthy plant will cope and soon put out new growth from lower down on the plant. These trimming are all great for cuttings.

Trim them lightly. Leave some new growth. Are they getting some sun. My lavender go leggier in the shade. They should bush out for next year.
