I have purchased some Lavender plants that are about 4 inches tall,should I plant them out now or over winter them inside and plant in the spring ?

    Leave them till the Spring-they might need potting on in the meantime-in a cold greenhouse should be fine.

    My guess would be over-watered and/or over potted.

  • Oooh, hadn't considered needing to protect my lavender pots this winter (other than a bit of fleece if it looks like going below freezing). I've two in pots that were put out late August this year. Do I need to find some shelter for them then?



    Assume my two camellias in pots should be ok with fleece??

    I have purchased the lavenders from T & M and I have left mine in the greenhouse. They were all stood in trays of water to keep them watered while I was away on holiday for nearly two weeks and they are growing really well. They are very strong looking plants and very bushy. I will be leaving them in the greenhouse over winter and plant them out next spring.

  • Think I might request a cold frame for my birthday...

    Lavender plant is a hardy plant but winter winds can damage the branches and foliage. The dry, cold winds wick moisture from the lavender's evergreen leaves, which causes burning or foliage death.
