grow lavender

I had no luck trying to grow lavender from seed. I planted the two plants that did manage to sprout, but they didn’t come back the next year. Maybe next time I’ll buy a plant and go that route.

Well out of 100 seeds, I ended up with two plants. Who knew this was gonna be this difficult? But I planted them together in the garden this year. Hopefully next year they’ll bloom.

I bought a pack of 100 seeds for the lavender border. My wife chose the pink lavender, so that’s what I’m going to plant. I’ve started the seeds in the tray pack about 1 week ago. Hope they sprout soon!

this spring I want to plant a lavender border on one side of the driveway. That side butts up to a wooded area and tends to look messy. hopefully this will pretty it up some. plus it will connect to the perennial border at the top of the driveway and make that appear neater as well.
