I'm growing a variety called Sarian (it's an F1). Will I get fruit from them this year, and if not how long does it take?

You'll probably get flowers and fruit forming this year but it's usual not to crop new plants in the first year to give them time to build up a good root and a strong plant. Being an F1 shouldn't affect this. It's just about the way it has been bred. Heartbreaking though it is, you 'ought' to nip off the flowers. Hard eh?

You'll get more next year if you do as Flum suggests....and then you'll be pleased you did!

Been hoping for free p&p, missed out a few weeks ago - we were in Cyprus, where we saw some 'Fernleaf' lavender. Looks really nice. So I thought I'd look for some plugs/plants when we got back. Seems that you start them from seed, only a few places do them.
