    Thanks Janey. I love lavender.❤ I'm in 7b in Vancouver BC Canada and have been growing it for years. We have a long season, and I dont want woody plants, so I prune twice a year always (I prune many plants as soon as they have a full bud, then bunch and dry the flowers). This year I pruned late spring just for shaping and followed Jason at Fraser Valley Rose Farm's (check him out!) advice and used the prunings to propogate! So exciting!! Rooting hormone, into a pot out in my deck since I dont have lights etc.). Only one didn't root! I'm planning a teeny lavender field and the cuttings are the beginning. 😊

    Janey, lavender is very easy to propagate if you want new plants. They grow quickly from just a tip cutting into a 1gallon size plant in just a few months. I was showing a few people how easy it is by just taking a few tip cuttings in early April, I just stuck the cuttings into a grow bag filled with soil and basically forgot about it. I looked at the plant this week and it is a beautiful midsize plant.

      Oh my gosh yes! I have a variety that I really like, but I don't know the name. I cut five stems from it two years ago and now I have five maturing lavender plants. you just have to cut right below the new growth into the woody bits, stick it in a pot of soil, and water. It is literally that easy.

Here in my Kansas garden with clay soil I've added gravel to the bottom of the hole I'm going to plant lavender in and I've been successful. Thanks for all the tips.

    In Virginia 7a (hot and humid summers with wet winters and very acidic red clay soil), I've tried for years to grow lavender in many different ways. I've had the most success growing Phenomenal and Sensational in large containers with plenty of drainage holes filled with a 3/4 compost and 1/4 cactus potting mix. The plants I have had growing about 3 years were watered the day they were planted and never since. Rain water has been enough for them. Maybe that will help some other southern gardeners.

    • @MyFocusVaries
      @MyFocusVaries 17 днів тому

      The gravel at the bottom of the hole may be causing drainage problems. My master gardener neighbour gave me this information; water has a hard time crossing through layers. You may have more luck mixing the gravel in to the soil. But only if you have a really bad drainage problem. I'm in Vancouver BC, a temperate rainforest and I plant into my regular garden soil. I have good drainage in general.

Or perhaps you get more wind in one area. I have a cold spot in my front garden where it took 3 tries to find a plant that would survive because it was a low spot and cool air pooled there. We're zone 7, but I needed a zone 5 plant for that spot. Lavender likes the heat, so maybe it's something complicated like that.
