I have never grown them here in the south. How well do they fare? Do you
have better luck from direct seed or plants?

Lavender grows well here, but it can be hard to start from seed.
Germination is not very good and they grow slowly until established. I
have a few that I started from seed last year and they are still tiny.
I think I recall starting some succesfully from cuttings a number of
years ago, though, and may try that again.
