They are tough but as you have just moved them on, put them out of direct sun for a couple of weeks to settle and start growing again -then into the sun
Did you save the seed from existing lavenders or buy seed?
If you saved it could you tell me how? I'm not sure how to turn them from soft mauve buds to clean, dry seed or when to sow them?
I planted up a large rose border last year & bought lots of T&M mini plugs of lavender, which I grew on, planted & is now near flowering. However, I couldn't decide whether to make a low border edger with them or dot them around.
I now wish I had done the former, rather than the latter, as trampling in the border now full with annuals etc., pruning all 80 of them after flowering, to stop them getting leggy isn't appealing!
So if I could learn how to propagate from seed the ones I have, (I think they're too small for cuttings!), I could then plant more as an edging in a year or two.
Hi no I brought the seeds online from Thompson & Morgan. So I can't really answer your question about propagating from seed sorry. I would like to know aswell if anybody knows???

Mine were from a packet of bought seed as well but I'd like to have a go with cuttings.
