Gro 'n Sell

Lavender (32)

$68.00
Tray Size: 32
Variety: Annet

What I know about lavender can be far surpassed with a 30 second Google search! I do know that some of you love it, and I know that Gro 'n Sell can produce it! I know it is Mediterranean in its soil, sun, and temperature preference, but it can adapt to other well drained locations. 

So, do you homework before ordering! I'm of no help. If we sell out we can possibly get more of some of these varieties, so just let us know, or if you are seeking other varieties, please be in touch! I'm very much still learning about lavender for cut production.

About Tray Sizes (please read)

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 equivalent of one full sized tray. Six of these will fit in a shipping box. These trays are long and skinny. (Think hotdogs). There are not compatible with 25 cell half trays. Scoop scabiosa, veronica, solidago, gypsophila, hypericum, herbs, some tweedia, and others are grown in the 50 cell tray.

*Chrysanthemums are grown in the same 50 cell half tray as mentioned above, but due to their height, they take up twice as much space. So TWO half trays of mums takes up 2/3 of the box.

25 cell half trays are also half-sized trays, but they are short and square. (Think hamburgers). These are not compatible with 50 cell half trays. Limonium and astrantia are grown in this tray.

Gerberas are also grown in a 25 cell half tray, but are tall that the others, and FOUR of these half trays of gerberas fills a 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).
