Lavender

$34.00 Sold Out
Tray Size: 50 (half tray)
Variety: Blue Spear

I don't know anything about lavender. (Well, I do know that I don't think it tastes very good, and I'm glad people aren't putting it in food so much any more.)

Lavender demands good drainage and likes to bake in the sun like other Mediterranean herbs. Hardiness will vary by variety. (Google before you buy!)

Some of these are shorter types but I am listing them because some of you grow potted herbs for market. Others are certainly tall enough for cuts.

Phenomenal, Exceptional, and Sensational now require the purchase of offical tags IF you are selling these at potted plants. For cut flower use the tag is not required. Contact us if you intend to sell these varieties as potted plants.  

These are small cell rooted cuttings sold in a 50 cell half tray.

Grown in a 51 cell tray, billed as a 50. 

Order 6 or more weeks before desired ship date. 

About Tray Sizes

210 and 125 cell trays are full-sized trays, and three of these will fit in a shipping box.

50 cell trays are half-sized trays (unless otherwise noted) and two of these are the equivelent of one full sized tray. Six of these will fit in a shipping box.

18 and 32 cell trays are full sized trays specifically for our vernalized perennials. These have their own set of shipping rules (find details HERE) and cannot be combined with items grown in 210, 125, or 50 cell trays.

Plug Care Plant plugs promptly upon arrival. Ensure they receive adequate light and maintain well-drained conditions to prevent root rot. Avoid overwatering.
Netting / Staking Not typically required due to the plant's sturdy stems.
Temperature Range Thrives in temperatures between 60–80°F (15–27°C). Hardy in USDA Zones 5 to 9, depending on the species.
Spacing Space plants 12–18 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth.
Soil Preference Prefers well-drained, sandy or loamy soils with a pH between 6.5 and 7.5. Avoid heavy, clay soils that retain moisture.
Day Length Not sensitive to daylength. Requires full sun, at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Pinching Not necessary; however, light pruning after the first flush of flowers can encourage bushier growth and additional blooms.
When to Plant Plant in spring after the last frost or in early fall in warmer climates to allow roots to establish before winter.
Harvesting Harvest flower spikes when the first few buds have opened. Cut stems early in the morning after dew has dried.
Post Harvest Care Can be used fresh or dried. Hang bundles upside down in a cool, dark, well-ventilated area to dry. Once dried, store in airtight containers away from direct sunlight.
Diseases / Insects Susceptible to root rot in poorly drained soils. Watch for aphids and spittlebugs. Ensure proper spacing and air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.
Bailey's Notes Lavender is valued for its fragrant flowers and essential oils. It's drought tolerant once established and attracts pollinators, making it a great addition to both ornamental and herb gardens. There are many different cultivars of English Lavender available, but most have the same cultural requirements. They differ in size, color, and some even have unique variegated foliage (Platinum Blonde).
