Thanks! Such a good to-the-point layout! Clear and organized. Got a good overview of types and the 'why' of them in a short amount of time. Super!

Great educational video as per usual. My favourite is English Lavender not just for the fragrance but I love the whispey flowers. Again thank you from New Zealand for all the quality information you give everyone 😊

Very helpful. I grew Spanish lavender for several years and every year praying mantises laid egg cases in them. Spanish lavender is far less aromatic than English lavender, but is more forgiving of poor soil, extreme heat and dry spells. The Anouk variety spread easily and gave me gorgeous blooms all summer long. This was in the foothills in the northern part of zone 7, so it was almost a zone 6.

I love lavender thanks for posting.

Lavendula dentata is the one we mostly find here in gardens in Sydney, Australia. Sometimes people have spanish lavender, but dentata is far more common. It's actually difficult to find other varieties around here. Another that grows okay in Sydney is lavendula canariensis, or canary island lavender. The scent and habit of the plants are very different, but the flowers are a similar, beautiful purple.

I appreciate your teaching of lavender. Because I have been forever trying to grow the English lavender but I live in Arizona south of West of Phoenix so it's really hot here and the only lavender they sell from your listing was the fringe lavandula. But I would like to see if I can find the Spanish lavender because the lavendulla I have is very green and foliage and has real leggy stems and it seems like the green leafy part when you crush it with your fingers that's what smells like lavender the flowers don't smell at all.

Beautiful Lavenders!

Hey! Can I ask question ‘bout lavandin if it can grow to tropical places???

If I remember correctly I have grosso lavender. I have had it a very long time. Any information on this as I am not really sure it’s a grosso.

Hello! I have a Spanish lavender plant shaped into a topiary ( I bought it like that ). It bloomed and when the blooming was over I cut it back 50 % as was recommended. The plant grew and was happy but lately the leaves on the lower part of the branches have become brown. I wonder if I overwatered? The plant is in full sun every day for about 7 hours.

i just bought an Spanish Lavender, I live in Portland, Oregon, so it might die in winter :( Gonna have to go buy an English Lavender now! Thanks for the great video!

@Claudia Abney I've never been to Portland but I believe it rains a lot where you are, cold and not much snow during winter (according to the internet) so it sounds pretty much like my climate. I live in the Netherlands, where it rains. A lot. And my Spanish Lavender survives the winters here just fine. What helps is good drainage soil.

Awesome! I got dentata without knowing much about it. It was also the only option at the plant shop. Any chance I can get oil, or at least give it another use?

Hi Lynda. I'd cut below both, cutting the stem of the flower down lower. The whole plant can be trimmed down - so long as you leave 4 to 6 inches of foliage above the woody base of the stem.

Lavender! I really need to visit our local lavender farm. They grow it surrounded by gravel. Sometimes the humidity here is too much for lavenders. Although our September here was much too dry. My Spanish lavender plant didn’t bloom, but at least it has survived and its silvery foliage looks nice. Have a great day!

Yes, those should be fine. Most of those are fairly low-growing - the sunflowers may be taller, and so I'd be ready to pull some if they begin to crowd or shade the roses. Otherwise it sounds like a nice assortment, and should help to support a good population of beneficial insects.

@FraserValleyRoseFarm

3 жыл бұрын

The English lavender can tolerate some high temperatures (up to 40C perhaps) but the Lavandula stoechas can accept even higher temps (up to 45C). Soil should be relatively well draining, and it does benefit from regular fertilization. Although lavender is pretty drought tolerant once established, they'll need more regular watering to cope with higher temperatures. Watch for signs of wilting to learn how frequently.
