Lavenders where to buy
Norfolk lavender have stopped mail order for the summer but I'd like to
buy several varieties of angustifolia for my new pergola. I don't trust ordinary garden centres as many have used seed to propagate their varieties as opposed to cuttings from named plants, which means you may not get the true named lavender. Apart from Norfolk lavender does anyone have experience of reliable (i.e. plants labelled correctly) lavender growers by mail order. I wondered about Jersey Lavender who also hold a national collection so should be good at identification. I'd like to collect all the angustifolia varieties.

It annoys me that some of the nurseries don't supply during summer. However , some do and in the case of lavenders you could try http://plants.thompson-morgan.com/uk/en/product/3864/1 |

Good idea Janet, I don't get to many shows so had no idea they were at the assorted venues. My nearest GOOD show is Chenies Plant fair this month so perhaps I'll go along and see if they are there or email them as you suggest for their dates.

Many thanks Christopher. I had always assumed it was in Ireland for some strange reason but have now checked and might even be able to visit!

The scent of lavender is sometimes overpowering. |

If they're goingto Chenies, you could probably order/reserve the lavenders you want, to make sure they bring some along. Quite a number of nurseries who don't do mail order, will bring orders to a show for collection. Janet Janet |

Thanks janet, should have realised that myself. Hope there's someone with lavenders coming:) -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
