Sitting on a friends porch this morning in another state. Watching your video this morning has been quite soothing to me, and I thank you! I lost my 39 year old daughter a few days ago, passed in her sleep, and hearing your voice and watching this video has brought me a little peace. Her favorite colors were pink and purple, how fitting. I know the you and your family are praying people and I only ask for your prayers as we lay my sweet Sharee’ to rest this week. Thank you Laura and Aron for your love that you continue to share. Love, Anne Andrews 💕💜

[@laurapeterson4052]

So very sorry on the loss of your daughter, may your loving memories give you comfort and peace. 💜

[@cathleencavanaugh2113]

Much sympathy and many prayers.

[@francineh.7825]

I am sorry for the loss of your daughter. Even though you don't know me I am sending you a hug and will be sending you thoughts of strength.

Prayers for you and all your daughter's loved ones. We lost our 33 year old son to Glioblastoma Multiforme, a rare, fatal brain cancer, in early February. He has a two year old daughter, a wife, and two stepdaughters that considered him their Dad. I know your pain. I've watched Garden Answer for years. I think I'm addicted to it. Lol. Laura and Aaron are just such genuine people. They make you a part of their family and they take you away from your problems for just a bit. They are a blessing from God. I pray you find peace and comfort in your life. ❤

Good morning from the western side of Oregon. It's always a treat to find Laura when I haven't been able to sleep. And good morning to those of you who have already been up for hours in the Morning Light.

[@davidduncan2537]

Your Mother raised such a beautiful, sweet, intelligent lady! I am learning so much from you. I am an 86 cancer patient and hope I will be strong enough this Spring to sit outside and plant seeds and lavender and other plants. God bless you. You have a special ministry🪴🌻🌹🥀🌸 Rockwall, TX

[@Kimberleycupacake]

Hi Laura, I’m just always in awe with how full of knowledge you are. As someone who found your channel 4 years ago randomly, your daily videos had me hooked and have introduced me to a passion I didn’t know existed. I just want to say thank you to you and Aaron for your hard work and dedication to educate this community. After watching this video, I now have to attend to my 500 pot plants and 8 acres of gardens that you inspired me to create 😂

[@carolynhollenbeck4505]

I’ve grown lavender for many years in different areas of the US. My favorite thing to do with some of the spent blooms is to crumble them on the floor and vacuum them up. You will have a lavender scented vacuum bag that will perfume the area whenever you vacuum. It even adds a calming effect to running the vacuum cleaner. 😂

[@pollytiks3885]

I used to do that too! You can also put them in a muslin bag and put that in the clothes dryer or in a drawer.

[@annehedlund7333]

Maybe I will vacuum more often! Nah....

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

I'm in Southern Maryland zone 7a Mid-Atlantic and we have hot humid summers with above average rainfall. I've had good luck growing 'Phenomenal' lavender in raised beds. I was able to concoct a suitable soil mixture to make the plants happy. I also just created a new herb parterre garden where I planted up 'Vera' English lavender IN-GROUND and it seems to be doing happy. I made sure the bed was on a significant incline to facilitate enough drainage. Hope this helps someone. Thanks Laura for all you do!!

[@gabygarcia8367]

Hi! I live in a super humid region and what we do for success is creating a good drainage for the lavender plant. Raise beds or it's recomended to make a kind of little hill with the soil so water don't stay near the lavender. I never water them, only at summer a little bit.

[@judyingram4846]

Thank you for your information. I live in northeastern Oklahoma. It's hot and very humid here and we usually get good rain. I'm in zone 6. I would like to ask you a question? I haven't ever planted lavender, but I would love to try it. I would like to grow some that don't get real tall, cause we have hard blowing wind here sometimes. I need something that won't fall over. Thank you so much.❤️

For those looking for cold hardy lavender, I have been growing Munstead lavender for at least 5 years now and I’m zone 3B. I do have to cut it back in fall, throw a bunch of mulch on it and have it planted in a wind protected area, but so far it is thriving.

[@karenwollmann261]

Thank you for this! I'm zone 3b too. Excited to try growing it again.

[@joyfuller6641]

[@carolynclark8780]

Hi, Laura. I love it when you devote an entire video to a single type of plant, like lavenders, or a single category of plants, like heat-loving. This makes it very easy for me to bookmark and file them away so I can easily find them later when I'm designing a particular area. Love your channel; I've learned so much from you. God bless.

[@Plants.and.cats5]

Absolutely love this video!! Would love to see more “focused” videos on one type of plant. Possibly sunflowers!

[@vahvahdisco]

I’ve had English Lavender pot pourri that the smell faded after 2 years, yet French Lavender bags, I bought in Provence, France in 1981 that STILL have a strong smell to them after 42 years !

[@ashleyjones1201]

I have a 60’ hedge of phenomenal and 20’ hedge of a Spanish lavender living in a humid zone 8 - the Spanish blooms months before the phenomenal and both are evergreen. I trim mine hard as well to keep the woody base from forming.

[@schoolbeginsaftercoffee4759]

For a beginner gardener, videos like these are so helpful! I would love more videos were you focus on one type of plant. Thank you for all you do.

[@brief402]

I took the leap and purchased 3 different lavenders this spring to see how they would perform at my new home of some random varieties that looked beautiful. When naming the common varieties you have grown I was SO surprised to see my 2 English types being the first you mentioned! (My third type is a French, those leaves ARE stunning) Now I can grow them with a little more confidence knowing there is some Laura approved varieties in my space.

[@dianequist835]

I had read on Google a while back that there are currently over 45 different species with somewhere around 450 varieties. Absolutely something out there for everyone. The ones you showed, Laura, are amazing. And the wealth of info you gave is SO helpful! Thanks!! 💜

[@Hlorrh40]

Praying for your mother. Hope she is doing better. It's hard when things like this happen, but she has a great family and tons of support. May God keep you and yours close to his heart.

Did you know that you can make your own Herbes de Provence? It combines rosemary, marjoram, oregano, basil, thyme, and lavender. Also, planting those plants near doorways and under windows keep the insects out of the house, mosquitos, and flies too!

[@xmo552]

That's great info

[@Liz-jp9ro]

Great idea 💡

Perfect timing! I have been wanting to plant lavender in my garden. It’s my favorite scent and I don’t have any in garden!

As always, I love starting my day with The Garden Answer!

I'm pretty sure I will be having lavendar scented dreams now❤️ I garden in Michigan, Zone 6a, so I can grow everything that you grow! Absolutely adore your channel, you, your family, & your mom! Been following for quite a while & have grown so much from watching! Everything great that has & is coming your way is well deserved❤️ Thank You & Aaron for your dedication to providing consistently excellent, reliable, and garden knowhow I can count on!

[@MicheleLHarvey]

Laura, I don't believe you've ever mentioned your favorite fragrance from the garden, but with this video I think I've guessed it. The video footage of you & your mom in those lavender fields is timeless. Makes me want to go back & re-watch the original. Your pruning tips on lavender make me want to try it again, but sadly it never seems to survive more than a winter or two in my zone 4.

[@erindewan6758]

I ripped out a few of my grandmothers 15 year old lavenders, they had huge woody bases. I replaced them with seedlings that I had grown this year. (Pinch them back early to force branching) Lavender does well here in southern Ontario Canada. Never, ever blooms twice though. (The English kind at least)

[@LydJaGillers]

The house we just bought has three types of lavender and this video just helped me identify them! I now know we have English, French, & Spanish!!!

[@jkrudop5700]

This video was so very helpful!! I was just telling my husband that I'd love to plant a huge drift of the Sweet Romance Lavender in front of our new patio! The timing was perfect for this video for so many reasons other than my own I'm sure! I used to think of Lavender as a Spring plant but have recently thought more of it as a mid/late Summer thing. Do you know if lavender is toxic to any animals (dogs, cats?) I know there are so many comments that it's hard to read each and every one, but I hope you know how much of an influence you have on so many gardeners on so many levels! I have planted things I had never heard of and tried several techniques since I started watching your channel nearly 5 years ago! I originally found Garden Answer looking for fairy garden ideas. Now I feel as though I have found a true mentor (besides my husband) that inspires me and thousands of gardeners worldwide! Never stop!! Blessings to you and your family!

[@cathleencavanaugh2113]

I’m in central Indiana and have my original 6 Munstead plants in the same location for over 30 years. They have survived weather from blizzards to 100 degree days with 75% humidity. Every spring I’m so excited when I see them green up for another year. I’ve never done anything to them except heavily mulch with leaves for the winter and cut them back in the spring. I don’t know if that’s best but it works so I don’t over think it. Thanks for this video. It’s very timely since I just put in a fence and want to start a new border.

[@donabailey5965]

Never knew there were so many varieties. This has really given a new look at lavender. Thanks

I’ve always loved your lavender hedge around your vegetable garden, it’s so beautiful. 💜Ty

[@se5594]

I mulched around my veg garden beds with straw this year. I had two lavender plants in the garden that needed a pruning. I was going to throw away the cut branches but decided to toss them on the straw walkways instead. So glad i did!! The next day while watering and weeding, i could smell the lavender as i was walking on it. It smelled so good! 💜

[@rosealvarado264]

Good morning all have a safe and blessed day

[@seededintexas4337]

I live in zone 9a-Houston, TX. Tried Sweet Romance Lavender in a container, but it died. I have limited space in our yard since we put in a swimming pool. And we have existing sprinkler systems everywhere so I thought a container would be best since they like it on the dry side. I might have to plant some along the driveway which is the only place without sprinklers. I’ll keep you posted on the progress. That’s what I love about watching your show because you give me the inspiration to keep trying and practicing. 🌻❤️ Thank you for shining your knowledge and kindness in this world! God bless you and your family. Oh, please tell your mom she is missed and we are praying for a successful recovery. ❤

[@silencedflower8441]

I’m in zone 4b. I am exclusively growing Hidcote Lavender grown from seed.., as it seems to be the only lavender I can get to preform year after year with little to no, winter protection. Snow gets three-four foot deep for months and months on end here. But this variety comes back every year, bigger, stronger and even fuller than the last. I absolutely love the scent. I will dry bunches just to hang around the house and add to arrangements for the scent as I go by. I am beginning to look into extracting oils, as I’ve been adding to the hoard. Added another 50 plants this year.

Good morning Laura. This video is very informative. I would like to try the lavender you and your mom cut in the field. I said this when I seen that video then, and I’m going to say it again. That part when you bring the lavender bunch by your face (12:56), is a beautiful picture, “frame worthy“! Your face was glowing from the pregnancy! 😊That was a great video as well.

[@TonyaGreenwood]

I live in the deep south and I’ve tried for many years to grow lavender. I’ve tried raised beds, containers and straight in the ground and never have had any success. The only places I’ve ever seen them for sale in my area were in big box stores like Lowes… probably not the right type for our area. Never see them in local nurseries either 🤔 I guess most varieties just really struggle in our extreme humidity and rain. Thank you for such an informative video! Ugh well Laura you can have your glorious lavender and I’ll keep my azaleas and gardenias. Much love from Alabama!

[@sandramulchahey8268]

Same here, I live in South Carolina and have tried and tried with no luck, maybe we can get our hands on the varieties that can handle more humidity 😊

[@GardenMinistry.]

Hi Tonya! Im in SC so I understand your struggles 😂 and yes our azaleas are way easier to manage! I wanted to suggest something, I see in our landscapes here often times they'll use Russian Sage, and they do surprisingly well. I guess as long as the soil is well draining and it's in full sun, Russian Sage may be a good substitute to try instead of lavender.

[@alicemarks2258]

I live in southern Louisiana and I’ve tried lavender several times with no luck. How nice it would be to have a hedge of them.

[@nicoletihista7031]

I’m trying to find a variety for my daughter in Tampa Florida that would do well in a container. I think we will try sweet Romance and order from proven winners. It’s an experiment for sure. I’m in zone 4 so I don’t think I can grow perennial lavender? Any zone 4 peeps out there have success?

[@Lynnpaperweight]

I'm in the deep south, too...central GA, zone 8A/B. You can "cut the humidity with a knife"! Lavender must thrive in more arid, dry climates, I'm guessing. That sure isn't us...we have the heat, though. I've tried lavender through the years because I just love it so much...never had any success.

[@claudiaolalla4292]

This was so helpful. I love lavender and it grows so well in my sandy soil. One thing to add, this might not be for everyone, but you can use lavender in cooking. Not all lavender varieties, though. Generally just the English varieties. But it would be interesting to see a video comparing the culinary aspects of different English lavenders. I have made lavender shortbread and lavender pots de crème, and as long as you don’t use too much, it adds such a delicious flavor. And I know a lot of people love using lavender syrup in lattes and cappuccinos. ☕️

[@LB-vl3qn]

Yes! It's wonderful! I use a lavender-infused spaghetti sauce whenever serving a cheese-filled pasta, such as manicotti or involtini. Recently, I found a lavender paste that I'm going to try in a cake frosting. Of course, lavender is one of the herbs in Herbs de Provence, which is lovely to use for roasts and chops. I probably use it more in the kitchen than anywhere else. Glad you mentioned this. ~ Lisa
