Stephen Shirley replied to May Turner's discussion Fragrant, swaying Lavender...."March is just too early.

Mo replied to May Turner's discussion Fragrant, swaying Lavender...."I must be the only person in here who sticks things in and leaves them to get on with it :)

Jade Hwang replied to May Turner's discussion Fragrant, swaying Lavender...."I like lavendar and they are very hardy. Choose the English ones and they will be going for years . I try French lavendar one year and they didn't survive the the winter. "

Flighty replied to May Turner's discussion Fragrant, swaying Lavender...."Hello, and welcome to the forum!
Lavender is something I keep meaning to plant on my allotment (I don't have a garden) but haven't yet done so. It's best planted mid spring, which is April, or early autumn.
I don't know which is…"

This summer I am imagining walking through fragrant swaying lavender either side of my garden path......although I am not in Provence and I haven't planted anything yet!1) Does anyone know if it will be OK to plant lavender in the middle of March?
