Reviews
They arrived late due to a shipping glitch but. . . .
"The plants, in 5 inch pots, had good roots despite the delay with the shipping company. They have been in the ground for 3 weeks and have new leaves. I'm very happy with High Gardens and bought 4 different types of plants just this year."
— Jingle (5/5)
I bought 9 Lavendar plants, and all are thriving!
"Can't wait to see the outcome. So far, so good."
— JW (5/5)
Beutiful and fragrant
"I ordered two of these and they arrived small (as expected) but healthy and sturdy. I planted each lavander in a large wine barrel planter on the west-facing side of my house. I mixed a small handful of pea gravel along with yum yum mix into the soil before planting, and then added a light layer of pea gravel on top of the soil. I only watered them a handful of times in the couple weeks after planting and then have completely left them alone. The foliage and flowers grew quickly and are so healthy and fragrant! I've grown Phenomenal lavander before in these same containers and so far this Vera variety is superior. Would 100% buy again."
— Junie (5/5)
Live plants did great, dead one… not so much.
"5 out of six plants did ok. 1 dead when arrived. That makes the bottom line price instantly increase. Would not buy again"

"Nice compact plant. Fragrant. Did not get any blooms 1st year. We'll see how this winter growing in a sunny spot works out. Newport, RI zone 6A"

— KT (4/5)
Seems to be thriving
"This is the only plant that survived of the three I ordered. It did well this summer. Now we'll see if it can survive through a South Dakota winter."
Lavandula angustifolia 'Vera' (English Lavender) has proven itself to have superior winter cold hardiness and sweetly fragrant flowers suitable as cut flowers, for sachets and Lavender oil production. An heirloom variety from England, this exceptional Lavender has been a top-rated performer in varietal tests. Lavandula angustifolia 'Vera' is a compact plant that blooms in early summer with an abundant crop of thin, highly fragrant flower spikes with dark blue calyxes and lavender corollas (flowers). English Lavender plants look stunning when planted with Oriental Poppies (Papaver), Yarrow (Achillea), MIlkweed (Asclepias) and Montbretia (Crocosmia).
Planting & Care
Tips for Growing Lavender
Lavender are sun-loving plants that thrive in hot weather and grow best in arid climates. Lavender plants will be taller and wider in mild winter, hot summer climates. The same varieties when grown in cold (zone 5-6) winter climates tend to be more compact. Lavender plants require two-to-three growing seasons to reach mature size.
Lavender plants are at their best in the drier parts of the US like the Great Plains, Intermountain West and West Coast (which has a true Mediterranean climate (wet winters and dry summers). The key is to make sure you choose a variety with sufficient winter cold hardiness for your region. (‘Vera’ and ‘Pastor’s Pride’ are among the most cold hardy.) Yet with proper soil preparation, and planting site selection, Lavender can also thrive in moister, more humid climates like the Mid-West, East Coast and Mid-Atlantic states.
Plant in full sun with good air circulation.
Plant into well drained soil. Compost-enriched garden loam is alright in drier climates, sandy or gravel soil is best in moister climates. Heavy, poorly-drained clay soils will be fatal.
Select a raised or sloped bed, or a planting site against a hot wall or along a cement/asphalt walk or driveway where the reflected heat keeps growing conditions hotter and drier.
New transplants need regular watering. Don't let the plants get too dry. Supplemental watering can be greatly reduced the second growing season as the plants become established.
When using drip irrigation, place the emitter off to the side of the plant, not right on the root ball to avoid overwatering of mature plants.
Fertilize once annually in the fall with a top dressing of Yum Yum Mix.
Mulch with gravel or pine needles in arid climates. In moister climates mulching with gravel will protect the crown from excessive moisture and soil splashed onto the foliage.
