Default Lavender - what am I doing wrong?

I planted 3 lavender plants in my yard back in early spring. They look
healthy, but they aren't growing much, and they aren't putting out any of
the lavendar flowers. Two are in full sun and one is in part sun/part
shade, but they all look the same.

I'm in zone 5, southeast Nebraska.

Thanks,
Brigitte



I have heard that lavender grows very slowly.

My lavender angustfolia (?) started from seed this spring is 5 inches high
(compared to the tomatoes started around the same time at 5 feet and
already making babies.)

The smell is quite girly. I wonder if it was such a good idea.
