PS Lavender is very easy to propagate from cuttings.
Keep it moist and it will grow. Now is a good time, going into winter

propagate this

Would Lavender do ok in the tropics?

No -- it doesn't like humidity. English lavender is marginal in Sydney.
There may be some ornamental lavenders that might grow, but they don't
smell
like the English and French types. See what's in your local nurseries
(proper
nurseries, not K-Mart or Bunnings. My Bunnings has *raspberry canes* for
sale
atm. In Sydney!)

Poo. What a pain. BTW, our local stanthorpewoolworths, in 0 deg and snow
that week, had lipstick cordylines for sale. Ummmm....ok!
