Lavender!

[Mum2SweetCs]

Hi All,

I want to plant some lavender (probablyl from seeds as they are cheaper) but i dont know which variety to plant!!!

I mainly want something that can be displayed in a vase and is very aromatic that can be used as pot pouri as well

Anyone know which variety is best? PS am new to this gardening thing! LOL

Thanks all!

I have English Lavender. It is brilliant. I bought it from a seedling and it has taken off like nothing else. I water it when I remember and just feed it ever few months with seasol. It smells beautiful and just brushing past it leaves a scent on you.

Does it attract a lot of bees?

Hi Lisa,

Is it called the True English one?
I bought that off ebay just then and some Munstang ones???

I also have dwarf seedlings at home but i think they look more like a weed than a beautiful tall (ones u see in pics) type lavender plant!

Yes it is True English.

It does attract a lot of bees. I keep mine smaller though as it is in a pot (we're renting) and the bees aren't too much of an issue.
