Advice Planting Lavender.
Macy,
Lavender will be mostly to completely failure as a perennial in your climate, and the seed is fussy ( VERY FUSSY) about germination. It may be a case of "BUT THE CATALOGS SAY I CAN" but I've BTDT and lost the bet a few times. I'd encourage you to scale back your expectations for an 8'x16' lavender bed and look to a container situation for lavender, maybe 6-8 plants nursery grown to transplant stage. I'm in the very same USDA Zone 5B, adjacent to the Androscoggin River in Western Maine If its lavender you want, for scent, for packaging, or for sale in any way, you ( and I) just don't live in the right part of this world to have it as a perennial. Sorry for the bad news, hate to hex your plans, just hope you can revise and rethink to a workable compromise. Sue Western maine "Macy" wrote in message ... Hi everyone, I need advice to select the best variety lavender seeds for a 8'X16' raised garden patch. Can I plant two or more varieties of lavender plants in the same patch? I am from USDA climate zone 5B. Thank everyone. |
