that was so informative. ive had trouble and i think its as you said..to much attention. ! thank you for all the green help you so kindly give us.

At Hampton Court they have lavender growing in circles around their roses. I was surprised that both were thriving because roses like rich, well manured soil and lavender prefers it well drained and rather spartan. I'm now trying this at home, digging in plenty of grit where I've planted the lavender. My roses have never been better and the lavender is flourishing. Your allotment is fabulous!

Thanks Jeffrey and that will be the trick -- grit adds drainage. Growing them on a ridge helps too.

Love what you do, hi from a lavender farm in MD. Hope you are well, staying calm and happy!

I have a big back yard, I’ve been growing lavender and making little paths, it’s really cozy

I have used Fresh Lavender Blossoms to make Milk Shakes. Delicious!

I spent 18 years in the lavender capital of the USA…. Sequim, Washington. I miss it. Grows like a weed there.

New subscriber, great to meet another avid botany lover. Thanks so much for sharing, have a terrific day

A lavender hair tie to boot 😊

I sure miss my lavender plants from my last house! We planted them all around the veggie garden to deter elk. They are the most lovely plants, and "Grosso" is my favorite. One thing that you did not mention is, at least in the U.S. Pacific Northwest, some varieties have a rather short life span for a perennial. We usually had to replace ours every 5 to 7 years. That could, of course, be due to our excessive rainfall. Just wanted to let people know that unless you have the perfect climate, it's not like some other perennials. Thanks so much for a great video!

I know someone with a lavender farm in Oregon near the gorge in corbet.

Lovely video Tanya! It must smell wonderful! I keep my lavender in a separate area in the garden so I don't overwater it. It does not like "wet feet". Unfortunately, l've killed too many plants with too much water till finally figuring that out. Also notice that when planting it, adding a some sand in the hole helps with drainage as well. Many thanks!!

I imagine that over-watering is the reason most people have issues growing lavender. Great idea for keeping it in an area of the garden that won't be soaked by irrigation/sprinkler.

My particular lavender strain produces more leaves than it does flowers how ever the leaf material is where I get the medicinal properties and essential oils. Every strain is different but don't forget to use the leaves also alot of people think only the flowers can be used.

I have a lavender plant here in the Philippines and the weather here is humid dry summer and warm wet to dry Winter months. My lavender flowered once and give its requirements now it is getting woody in the center and drying leaves. I do notice new sprouts of leaves in the woody stem and is growing but the woodiness bugs me off because it does not look good. What should I do?

My lavender is covered in dust because I live near a farm :( how do I clean my lavender? Should I clean it before bundling it?

So is the cookie recipe available ? Great video.

I'm an amateur gardener so I know nothing about gardening... I got some lavender and have transferred it into a little larger pot. I only filled the container with potting soil from a bag that I have on hand. Is it mandatory for me to mix it with like mulch, sand, compost etc? Or can it still grow and survive with the potting soil that I have... I just don't know if I want to buy that many different soil types for that one thing and have the rest sitting around and not being put to use.

I am a new subscriber ! Thank you soo much experience with English Lavenders ! I am currently trying to get some english varieties.Which varieties is this long stems of yours ? It is amazingly beautiful ! thanks

The larger ones, I’m not sure of really. Like many potted plants they (and their parents) were only labeled as English lavender.

Great video! That's for the information. My beautiful lavender plants now looks very sad and it's breaking my heart.

Lovely Greens I'm think it's a combo. I have been overly attentive to one in a large whiskey barrel and the other is in rich but clayish, compacted native soil. Since we get very little rain in Southern California and it's hot now, I'm guilty of overwatering. I gave them a haircut and am hoping for some re-generation. They are a lovely French lavender that make the bees so happy. Fingers crossed. It is my first year with a veg and flower garden. There were bound to be fails among the success. Thanks for asking. 😊

so can you harvest the dwarf lavender???

Your intro song makes me feel like I'm watching an episode of Intervention... Lol

I have a difficult time growing lavender here in the southern United States zone 8 with the humidity. I desperately want to grow it successfully. Should lavender ever be fertilized?

@Lovelygreens

5 жыл бұрын

It shouldn't ever be fertilized and the humidity could indeed be a problem. English lavender won't thrive in humidity, no matter what you do. Try the species Lavandula dentata or Lavandula stoechas instead. They aren't as great for beauty or cooking purposes but bees love them and they look pretty.

No! Use ground cover and gravel in full sun and you'll be fine. I grow in zone 7A and have I'm sure as much humidity is you in the summer. There are a ton of great varieties for zone 8 look at some of the Spanish varieties!

Informative! I plan on growing lavender on my permaculture farm in Maine. Are you Irish? (I sense a slight accent)

@Lovelygreens

4 жыл бұрын

I know that lavender can suffer in northeastern winters. I’d recommend you ask around to see if there are any hardy varieties that might do better than others. Not Irish, just have lived in Britain for 15 years. It creeps in. Funnily enough, no one here thinks I sound anything other than North American.

you have a beautiful garden. i was reading your email when this popped up, glad i got to see this. now,where cani get some lavender and calandula tomake some soap. want to try my hand at that. thank you so much for your videos and all the information you provide. excuse my typing, my spacer is on the blink. i tried to seed some lavender this year to no avail. i'll try again. did you start your's from seed

Thanks Nancy. My lavender is all from cuttings or from baby plants that I've purchased. I have tried growing lavender from seed before in the past and it does work but takes at least a year longer to get decent sized plants.

Lavender shouldn't ever need to be fertilized. Unless it’s grown in pots but even then it probably isn’t necessary

Victoria Willard Its call Hidcote. Hidcote is a beautiful National Trust House in the Cotswolds in England.

Sorry I’m a little confused. At the beginning you said you were too late to harvest as they bloomed already and you should have cut them before they bloomed but you still did and even dried them .... i don’t understand how it’s too late if you still used them. Sorry, just learning

tea?

I just bought a pot of lavender, im in zone 6. It is still in pot. Un pruned. When should I plant it in ground? And what kind of soil? Alkaline soil... is it possible to buy from store? Should I trim them though it is still in pot? Sorry for many questions.

@Lovelygreens

Lavender may not survive over the winter in your zone so if you can plant it in a large pot it may be better. That way you can move it into a sheltered place like a porch or greenhouse over the winter. Use 3 parts ordinary multipurpose potting mix with one part vermiculite or horticultural grit.

I am also in zone 6. We just threw our 2 plants in a full sun spot and let them go. They survived the winter and were actually a nice touch of "greenery" as the leaves on ours stayed (although they were duller and silvery looking). They're getting ready to bloom this year and they're almost 5 times the size as when we bought them as little $5 pots from Walmart. If you have a nice sunny spot to drop them in at, I think theyll be happier and put off a good yield for you.

My Lavenders are going brown:(

Never seen this in real...

I am going to get lavender for my backyard... check out my backyard project videos

Thank you.
