Default Untidy, unattractive Lavender plant.

But whatever route you choose, I'd also
suggest taking cuttings from it now - i.e. non-flowering shoots about
2"-4"
long, dip them in some hormone rooting liquid and put cuttings into a
cutting compost. Keep them uncovered in a well-ventilated place and then,
when they've rooted, plant them up into pots and grow them on until
they're
big enough to plant out.


Like I said it really is easy and you don't even need to bother with this
rooting 'stuff' if you haven't got any :-))

Stick 'em in the soil/pot and they will grow.

As you said 'Neither my wife or I are gardening experts', fine, don't get
tooooooooooooo technical. This is nature not Kew Gardens stuff :-))

Like I also said, if I can do it, so can any idiot :-)
