Munstead, Hidcote or ................?

to late summer. Admittedly it's mild here but lavender isnt too,difficult. Drainage and sun. Hidcote is tough and quite tall, and has been a firm favourite in cottage gardens for years. Munstead is rather shorter - and is very easy to grow from seed by happycottontail

Lavender hedge!!

. Lavenders do like good drainage, though. Be aware that they are very attractive to bees and hoverflies and these may be a pain if you want to leave your windows open in the summer. I would be inclined to leave them. Once the growing season starts properly by MattCUK76

Best hedging shrubs?

Lavender makes a beautiful hedge and bees love it. Fuchsia ditto. A mixed hedge of native shrubs and trees is there for centuries and a benefit to mankind. If you're planting a big hedge, a mixed, native hedge is a great idea, as happymarion2 by SFA

What to do with the Lavender seedlings?

I received my lavender 'plants' from the June issue of 'Gardeners' World' only at the end of July. Great offer but had no idea they would be so tiny - 36 5cm seedlings packed in tiny root containers and a thin, transparent case for posting. It says by keennovicecam

Lavender Collapse - Can it be saved?

Several lavender shrubs I look after seem to have collapsed slightly leaving the centre of the shrubs exposed, showing the less attractive woody tangle of stems beneath. I suspect this may have been caused by the winter snows or perhaps the heavy by Phytographer
