  • More Lavender Detail...

    I have 64 lavender cuttings currently in my plastic greenhouse. I have used rooting hormone. What kind of success rate can I expect?

    Will they be big enough to make a low hedge next summer?

    Can I leave them in the plastic greenhouse over the winter? Or, if they have rooted, can I just leave them in pots on the patio?

    Incidentally, these are the first lavenders that I have used the correct cutting method with. A few months ago I had no awareness of how to do them correctly, so I just shoved 3 of the flower stems/spikes into compost and left them. They have somehow managed to root! And they are still in flower!

    Out of interest, what is the correct cutting method?

      This is my first year doing cuttings of lavender, I just broke abit off and put it in compost and they have rooted! I'm leaving mine outside as I don't have a greenhouse, the main plant is hardy so my thinking is, the cuttings will be fine as well lol

          I've brought the lavender cuttings in and plan to keep them in my porch until their roots are a bit tougher.

          Incidentally, the cuttings are only 1 week old yet they all seem to be putting on growth, AND some have roots growing through the holes at the bottom of the pots!

          Beginners luck?!

            That's incredibly fast for cuttings to produce roots, never mind reach the bottom of the pots!

              I know!

              (Unless the compost had roots already in it? It was fresh compost straight out of the bag. Hmmm )

              I'll take a pic'.
