Garden Addicted
I made a whim purchase of 400 lavender seeds (munstead) I wanted them to line my driveway as I'm going for a cottage garden with ALL the trimmings. I think they will be very impressive as little hedges with a heavenly scent to welcome visitors. Now the issue is, I've never grown lavender... I saw a 3 gallon pot was between $10-$12 so I want to try this route.
What would be good soil conditions? Should I just directly sow them? I know they form hedge like bushes almost, but should I thin out the seeds as the come up or leave them be. Is 400 seeds too much or too little to line 24 ft? Also, how many seasons do you think they will need before they bloom and get close to the 2ft height?
Sorry for all the questions.
Thanks!
