Lavender produces copious seeds, and if you collect them and keep them indoors over the winter, they are easy to germinate in seed trays in the spring. Whilst I have known fallen seeds to germinate in cracks in the paving, I've not known them germinate in the bed where I grow them.

They are also fairly easy to propagate from cuttings. I think would be a good time of year to have a go. Google "softwood cuttings".
