Lavender For My Raised Flower Bed

Careful it's easy to over water lavendar. Try adding a féw flowers to a salad, the colour is great and the taste is delish. Also try grinding some up and using instead of sugar.

Where I used to live we had a whole hedgerow of lavender, it was there when we first moved in, and the bees loved it, and the scent was lovely as you walked by, I wish I had taken a few cuttings with me, but because of the circumstance of how I left that wasn't on the top of my priorities! I do have some lavender on the rockery, I don't find it that easy to grow to be honest, I hope you have better luck with yours, I guess it depends on the type of soil it's planted in and the love, care and attention you give it

We have a lavendender under the front room window it looks lovely and smells beautiful.Some of the lavenders do have a pretty flowers on them.We do have a few new ones in the back garden.We find lavenders last a few years if you trim them once the flowers blossom but dont trim to hard be careful.I bring the cuttings indoors and put them in a vase without water ,natural room freshener.

I bought a very small lavender plant two years ago. The next size was over twice as expensive so I thought I`d tell it to grow. The plant answered my hopes and now it is a beautiful plant, as big as the expensive one. I didn`t know it would grow as fast. The whole plant has the nice lavender smell, not only the flowers. I would give it a little more room though, if I were you. Luck!

I love how lavenders smell too. Well, I don't have a plant like yours coz it is really hard to have a plant in our home coz of all the birds and our dog. But what I would often do is light a lavender candle or burn a lavender incense.

Hi,Janey1966 I love lavender too!and I also like the smell of it,it's the best smell of any other flowers that I ever smelled.

Hopefully, you will get to enjoy some lovely lavender plants. I haven't a green thumb. I like to imagine that I will one day have success with plants once we own our own home and I have a real space in which to garden. However, that may just be a lovely daydream.

I have seen the lavender before,which has purple flowers that have a strong pleasant smell.I like it too.What type of plant is the one beside lavender on your raised flower bed ? It looks like the plum blossom.

i don't have gardening tips to share, in fact, i don't think lavender grows here, but i do hope your plant will be as obedient as the one marguicha bought. i have been reading for years how the scent of lavender is relaxing. some even say it can protect you from negativity. so i finally bought a small bottle. i would put 2 drops on the bed, one on the left and one on the right of my pillow. it doesn't seem to work for me. i don't fall asleep faster. my eyes are closed and i try to clear my mind, but i can't get past how it hurts my nose. maybe i'll try chamomile next time, but i'd like to finish that small bottle first.
