Perennial Row Lifecycle and Pruning

Management → Perennials lists every mapped Lavender Row with its life stage and lets you record pruning once a year (3 hours, +6 XP), which improves plant health and reduces woodiness.

Record pruning

  • Button: Record pruning · 3h · +6 XP, once per row per game year.
  • Uses 3 hours of farm-clock time.
  • Every plant on the row gains +8 health, +8 prune care and −8 woodiness (woody plants yield less at harvest).
  • The row must have plants and every plant's pruning window must be open.

Real-world note

The game's advice matches lavender practice: remove deadwood and about a third of leafy growth in spring, shape one-third to one-half after bloom, and never cut into leafless old wood.
