I learn a lot from your videos! Thank you!
I need tips on my dill plants, I've learned so much from watching you. Thank you !!!!
So I’m willing to try Lavender now in Florida 9b, since my rosemary is now a 4x4x4 bush! It’s right next to my lemon tree and is mostly south and east facing. Sandy loose “soil” with no care for a year, except for random pruning has helped it get huge. I think I’d go with a grow bag or large container, in the event I do need to move it- I never realized how similar to Rosemary it is! (My area has had a much drier summer this year than average. Rosemary hasn’t noticed.)
Is there a cultivar you suggest?
Amazing video
My lavender is doing ok but can't help it from the constant rain in Houston area.
We kill most plants we try to tender too but for some reason our lavender plant is blooooooming !!!!
New Subscriber here…
I was interested in it for keeping pests away but then I was wondering if it would also keep the beneficial insects away? You mentioned it was good for attracting pollinators… I wonder why it would repel bad bugs and a checked good bugs and if that is even true
mine has gone black in the middle. I planted it in an old bbq with old ash. maybe that's the problem. also me watering all the time. duh. thank you for the video.
Are those 2 types of lavender??? I love the left one but what's it called?? I've never seen it before
How do we multiple our lavender, plant the flowers when they start to die?
I live in Idaho. Can I put in my greenhouse during winter.
Brigham Young…70 miles south of Salt Lake City on I -15.
Think I have seen lavender growing wild!
v good information plz also do watch this video about plants soil mix https://youtu.be/PRR5N3ZYgOQ
You forgot a tip! Select your lavender variety according to your climate! If you live somewhere colder, a hardier type of lavender (like English lavender — Lavendula agustofolia) would probably fare better than the heat-loving Spanish lavender (Lavendula stoechas) that Kevin showcases in the video!
Love your video. Please help. I recently moved to Florida, it rains almost every day. It may be a challenge to have dry soil. Tropical storms and sandy soil. I want Lavender to repel mosquitos. Of course I love lavender for all the other reasons, I use lavender oil on my body and in the house for aroma therapy. I want to learn how to grow its here successfully.
How does lavender maintain itself ‘naturally’-as in, when it’s in the wild? Obviously it doesn’t prune or harvest itself so does it just keep growing and growing until it dies?
Can you show how you mix the soil for Mediterranean plants?
I have lavender and rosemary in a big pot.. they are beautiful. Do I bring them in my back room for the winter or cover them in plastic?
Well I have a bag of compost with manure and I'm going to grow something
I bought some plants and didn't realize that it didn't like wet feet!! Too late
So lavender won't do well in aerogarden?
I recently got a lavender plant and at first it was doing really well, but now it looks very barren and many of the stems keep dying. I haven’t had the plant for a year yet and when I got it it was still pretty young. Do you have any tips for helping the plant grow better? (Yes I keep it in a sunny spot)
I'm in San Jose. So it's not really a cold place. But my lavender still looks very woody and dry, and not healthy. And the bush is hardly growing. I have it planted in my yard. One in my front yard, one in the back. The back is south facing. But the lavender there is doing worse than the one in the front yard. I'll be grateful for any tips. I wish I had big, healthy bushes of Lavender and Rosemary. Thanks!
