Default lavender (pruning)

Slightly off theme,
but what is the best way of planting a low lavender hedge?

I tried getting one rather bushy lavender plant
and splitting it up, but the bits did not take.


Try planting L. angustifolia but see if you can get it from somewhere
that either specialises in lavenders, or is doing a 'deal'. If you're
planting it as a low hedge, it looks rather attractive to put one the
taller types at each end as a sort of punctuation point.
