I’ve had these lavender a couple of years now about three years as you see on the picture they look nice and healthy I can’t understand why I have not got no flower spikes on the plants yet any ideas what may be caused? this they are in big barrels

Mine are only just flowering now. They are late this year.

any reply on this

Mine are now in full flowering mode so thing the disparate weather patterns may have been the cause in your area.

Can I ask... do you dead head lavender?

[mdjlucan]

YES

If they are in big barrels and have been for 3 years, they may be pot bound now and that can stop plants from flowering.  Depending on the variety they can grow huge if they are gown in the ground.  It might also be because after 3 years the compost in the barrels had broken down and they are struggling for the nutrients they need to flower and are just concentrating on leaves to make their own food.  I’m assuming they have flowered before as you say you deadheaded them.

You could try repotting them, but sometimes it is easier to start with a new plant with lavender.
