Thank you! New gardener converting lawn to xeriscape/habitat. Tx panhandle so very arid here. 👍🏻Just planted a lavender last week to try it out. On a slope w/ some scree. Will go back and add more scree. Great video!

Sean, I watched this a year ago, but rewatched it because I am having issues with my lavender due to the really wet winter we had here in North Central Pennsylvania. I think I will try to trench, gravel and sand, transplant the good ones and replace the really damaged ones. When do you recommend transplanting, should I wait until Fall?

Spring will always be best for planting and transplanting lavender. You want their root system to be well established before winter.

I’m three years into my gardening journey (so, I’m still very much a novice) and one of the first things I did when I decided to change about 30-40% of my lawn over to perennial garden beds was plant a row of lavender. I planted it alongside the driveway where it’s surely getting a ton of salt (thanks to our Canadian winters). And due to my own health conditions, I must admit I’m not a very active gardener - ie I seldom fertilize and I don’t deadhead nearly as often as i should. I had no idea when I chose lavender just how finicky she can be and man, did I get lucky because my hedge is thriving on my neglect and ignorance!! 😂 Gorgeous, very full row of deep purple-blue hidcote now in year 3. I lucked out picking the specific area I did because it clearly loves the soil conditions (I amended it in year one but haven’t done a ton to that particular area since - although I did add hen manure this spring to the perennials tucked in behind the lavender). I’m realizing now how lucky I’ve gotten! Beautiful bouquets in the summer and dried bunches in the fall. And of course, the bees are in heaven (I also have catmint and salvia planted further down that row so it’s literally a buzz). Definitely give it a try even if you’re a novice but maybe be smarter than I was and start with one or two plants so you don’t break the bank if you don’t get as lucky as I did.

For anybody adding sand to your soil, DON'T use play sand. It's too fine. Use the largest, coarsest sand you can find. Don't be afraid to put a tiny bit of pea gravel on the most too!

I love lavender! I live in Colorado and every year my lavender dies and never comes back. I don’t know what kind I planted. I did a few different kinds to give them the best chance and they all died. One of them didn’t even smell like lavender which was a bummer
