Also, Lavender is in caplet and tincture oils, clinical studies have been done for their stress/anxiety properties. A friends Dr. has recommended it and to ease off prescription meds. I use, it too..

[@theresa510mountain]

Great tips, searching for lavender for zone 4. Mountain region.

[@FreshEggsDaily]

Oh wow. You might be able to keep it alive through the winter if you cover it and plant it near the house or somewhere it's protected.

Nice flowers

[@FreshEggsDaily]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@rachelstark2391]

Peggy, What do you cover your Lavender with for the winter? Upstate NY

[@FreshEggsDaily]

I don't cover it actually. it's up against the house on the south side, so it's pretty well sheltered.

[@racheal74]

I have a French Gigantico Grosso and Im hoping I can keep it protected outside in zone 5 ? Thank you

[@FreshEggsDaily]

We're in zone 5 and our lavender comes back each spring.

How far apart should I plant hidcote

[@mooremanorlavender5774]

Hi J K. We plant it about 2 1/2 feet apart in hills for good drainage. Sorry we just saw this comment! Let us know if you have more questions - Doug and Peggy.

[@tanyatyberg7972]

Thank you for your informative video. What zone do you grow your lavender? I am in zone 4, can I leave it outdoors in winter? Thanks!

[@FreshEggsDaily]

I'm in zone 5. I don't even cover mine and it comes back each spring. I think you would be better off covering yours though to be sure it gets through.

Hello, where to get seeds of levander 5 climate zone baltic region.

[@latvian_homestead]

@@tiesiogas1377 Hi, check out lavender Vera, it’s hardy to zone 5 but for overwintering should be covered with frost cloth.

[@jkuhlow204]

I want to plant lavender hidcote variety but I cannot find it near me in Sheboygan wisconsin.can you please advise where to find them?

[@FreshEggsDaily]

No idea. I don't live in Wisconsin.... Sorry.

[@sarahm.933]

Try Milager’s in Racine area

[@mooremanorlavender5774]

You could also try Richters Herbs for plugs and plants. Plugs can be potted up into larger and larger containers until they go in the ground.

[@drusillawamphir7894]

Let me ask u something I want to plant lavender

[@marycoleman3711]

Love lavender but it can't take the subzero temps where I live

[@nicatnyte]

What zone are you in?

[@FreshEggsDaily]

I bet there are varieties that might do okay if you cover it in the winter.

[@northfolk6991]

English varieties are grown in the Russian Steppes so they can take minus 40 no problem :)

[@mooremanorlavender5774]

Good drainage and full sun are also important. We've been growing it here in Maine - zone 4B/5 for 9 years.

[@sgcanesillegals6440]

Looks like my lavender did not make it through winter

[@FreshEggsDaily]

Oh no!
