Lavender seeds
Does Lavender produce seeds?
My brother wants some of the Lavender I have in my garden. Could I cut some of the plant off from somewhere to grow in a pot to produce more plants? |

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". |

Depending on the variety, cuttings might be best. I have 'Goodwin Creek Grey', which is a hybrid -- a cross between French and wooly lavender (Lavandula lanata × dentata). Hybrids do not propagate true to their parents from seed. On the other hand, a non-hybrid might propagate true from seed if no other species of lavender is nearby. Why take the risk? Propagating from cuttings is very easy with lavender. -- David E.
