Propagating lavender to make small hedges

  Also worth bearing in mind that cuttings from the same parent plant will give you a hedge that is uniform in colour, whereas seed grown will have slight variations.

  If you keep your eyes open for offers in the gardening magazines in the spring they often sell 48 mini lavender plugs for £5 (ie the postage).  The plants are tiny (think little fingernail), but grow to a decent size by the next season.

  I've pulled seeds off an existing lavender plant and grown loads of new plants that way. I created a mini-hedge in a sunny border, and also give plants away because they're so good for pollinating insects.

  It's really easy. Good description and pictures here:

  If you don't have any existing plants or sources of seed, then for less than a quid you could start here:
