I think that's true Fairy. I've got one that's growing outside, it's about 5 years old now, no protection. Other lavenders - the ones that are supposed to be tougher - have perished but the stoechas one is still going strong . But it is in the ground. I think in a pot there's more risk of the rootball getting frozen if we have a hard winter
Gardening on the edge of Exmoor, in Devon
“It's still magic even if you know how it's done.”
Yes - it's funny how plants don't read the instructions isn't it?
There's a house next to where I work, and they had the area next to their driveway all landscaped. For some reason, a hedge of lavender was put round one edge - iand it was a very poor choice. Half of it has died, and the rest looks the way most lavender looks up here - lousy and miserable!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
