Isn't it funny how some plants will and won't take? I'm very lucky that I can grow lavender in my garden in Andalusia, Spain... But cannot get any Bougainvillea to grow for love nor money!!! 🤷🏼♀️
Gorgeous. Our Hidcote stayed smallish for a few years and had softer blooms, not as rich as yours. Our Dentata got quite woody after two or three years and became too big for our front path. After removing them they put out volunteers in surprising areas and we love them. We now have 'Grosso' along the front path and they are wonderful. My wife makes beautiful 'wands' out of the blossoms.Thank you!
Laura the way you have planted the lavender around the vegetable garden looks so beautiful. No matter how many Garden Answer videos I watch the beauty of this garden never ceases to amaze me. It's stunning! Sweet Romance Lavender is a plant I love more and more each summer, we have planted lots in our garden and it's our favourite, it smells gorgeous and I find it seems to attract a lot of butterflies which is always lovely 💜💜💜🦋🦋🦋
I have Spanish lavender next to my koi pond and it smells divine as you walk by, or the wind shifts. Awesome plant....but don’t over water them! Thank you again Laura and Aaron for another great video.
I’m envious every time I plant lavender of any type it seems we get such cold weather that kills them off. I keep trying but success is difficult here in South Jersey. So far this year I’m just doing potsi could bring in. Good luck you must be getting the best smells. I got those green and pink petunias and they are really nice. I hope you recycle the cut lavender into the chicken shed or someplace to make it smell good. Good luck and happy growing. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️🖖🏻💪🏻🐾🐾🐾✌️🙋🏼♀️
I just planted some Phenomenal Lavendar in purple pots for my balcony. I live in a tensy senior apt in San Diego. Can't wait to see if they are as purply beautiful as yours!
It’s just spectacular! I actually bet the lavender likes the rock. It is kind of like that in the rocky Mediterranean soils where it thrives. Way to go!
The gardens are looking fabulous. I shear my English lavender down every year and they come back beautifully! The only ones I don't shear down so much are the French Intermedia varieties like Provence and Grosso, and any English ones that have already formed a woody base.
For the first time ever I cut my row of Lavender back like you did and they rebounded perfectly, and are now 4 foot high! Loved that advice. Never ever have my lavender looked so great! They looked truly terrible until I cut them down to the ground like you did! See how you change lives of gardens? P.S. Did the same with my Russian Sage that is planted between their lavender friends. And they are back about 2.5 ft. high now! Hugs!
This is the exact Lavender that my husband and I planted all along our driveway this year. It looks beautiful already. Can't wait to see these next year.
I have been just watching your videos for the past month ( since I found your channel) every free moment - love everything your garden, your knowledge, and the sharing of your Mother's and other gardens. Thank you
I planted a short row of this same lavender along my patio because of your video last year. I just put mine in this spring and they've put on a lot of growth. No flowers yet but hoping to see some soon.
Hi Laura and Aaron! Your lavender is beautiful! I love it against your black fence. I grew lavender in a pot for several years, but didn't know it needed cut back, and it got really woody and wasn't pretty any more. I've learned a lot from you and I'm trying a lavender plant my sister gave me! Thank you for sharing!
I can almost smell it! Beautiful! I have 2 giant pots filled with lavender this year and am enjoying it so much, I have to stop and sniff whenever I walk past.
Laura your veg garden looks beautiful! You've really managed that line where your veg garden looks pretty which is no small feat! The Lavender is the icing on the cake soo pretty. Happy gardening.
Lovely coffee with Laura and beautiful purple color! I like the idea of cutting the lavender back and want to try that when we plant some new plants. We have some established lavender that is huge and has a very woody base so it just stays that way but putting some down by our garden would be a good thought!
Thanks so much! Planting a lavender border in front of a hedge (my backyard ‘fence’ is a hedge along three sides of the yard) and you’ve convinced me to select the Sweet Romance variety. I love gardening and growing my indoor jungle but I don’t have a natural green thumb by any stretch. Wish me luck! 🌱
Thank you to you both for your hard work, the variety of topics, and your team work. I really am thankful to your parents, too, Laura for giving you a love of gardening as you grew up. I bet they never imagined that thousands of people would benefit from their caring parenting! "Good strength" as you continue to offer all of us beauty, inspiration, and information!
What a beautiful lavender hedge! I dug out a 14 year old lavender plant this year and replaced it with two fresh plants so I’m looking forward to seeing them grow and bloom! There’s nothing like the scent of lavender.
Beautiful!! We added Lavender just off our patio thanks to you. It is growing so well. And the smell is awesome. Thank you for all the inspiration you provide!!
Lavender loves the heat, if you put it in borderline baking conditions it will thrive. Had a lavender plant many years back which was potted. Put it on our old septic tank cover (cement slab), the thing radiated heat in the summer. Plant absolutely loved it to the point where I kept pruning it back every other month or so. Granted I was fertilizing the plant as well, each time I pruned it the plant would act like it was stunted for a week. Always wondered if it did some damage, but after that week it would just continue intense growth. Really loved that plant, sadly I had to move, put the plant in my car, but it wasn't a big fan at all of the new climate and slowly died (moved from Mississippi to Iowa).
I LOVE your videos and all of the content you share. I just started to do some gardening in my front yard and your videos have been so helpful and very INSPIRATIONAL. Thank you for sharing your expertise and advice with us newbies. You have a GREAT personality as well! Sending you love from Conroe TX! :-)
Was just talking about lavender at one of the garden centers I go to. Have never grown it. But it would have hated all the rain we've gotten here (not Midwest where it's a crisis, but northeast where it's just been way above average). Most summers, tho, if I could find a place where it won't get watered too much, it would be great. That's why a hedge can be good -- separate from other plants that need more water. Talking about no drip system here!
OMG!!! GOR-GEOUS! 😍😍 I have been trying to grow lavender in a pot for the first time, but have failed. Could you please, please,please suggest or do a tutorial on successfully growing lavender in a pot.
I have grown a few in containers, and when I do .......I use cactus mix in CLAY pot. 😊 They do not do “wet feet”! It dries out the Lavender very well before I watt again.
The lavender is absolutely stunning. Still just adore the black fence too!! And all those veggies!! Looks like you are going to have a great season. 👍🏻
That whole side of your property is looking absolutely gorgeous. I never knew before about cutting back lavender but won't do it with my older woody ones but any new plants I'll be able to do that.
I’m tempted to try lavender again after watching this. I live in Southern Maine (zone 5a) but tend to not have great luck with it. It’s just so pretty that maybe I should give this kind a try if I can find it.
Hmmm. Sweet Romance.... Gona have to try that one! They look much nicer than the few scragglers I have!! And I'm definitely gona cut mine way back this year! Thanks for sharing! Everything is looking lovely at your house!!
I took your advice and cut my lavender back this year and it did so much better. I don’t know what variety it is, I think I bought it at Costco. But it isn’t scraggly like the year before and it bloomed so much better!
Beautiful! I've been watching your videos for the last 3 weeks and finally got up the courage to plant some flowers and plants. I live in Chicago and I moved into a new home on May 1st., We're also a zone 5. I went to Home Depot and purchased perennial plants that can withstand temps down to -30 and -40 degrees F! The day before yesterday, yesterday and today, my son and I finished planting: clumping Plantain Lily 'Guacamole' (a Hosta hybrid), mounding Heuchera: Coral Bells 'Melting Fire', and spreading Carpet Bugleweed 'Burgundy Glow'. I also planted some annuals- Petunias- in a container. I've never done this before and hope I followed your instructions enough for my plants to survive!
Wow! The lavender is gorgeous, I'm going to try growing lavender again this year (mine never made it in the past) but we've had so darn much rain. It's raining again right now maybe we have to much humidity here, I don't know what the problem is but at any rate I will try again. Beautiful video. I'm anxiously waiting for a full garden tour! Please Laura and Aaron!!!!
I should of really checked the root system of the PW Limelight I got last month. When I got it home and dug the hole it honestly fell out of the container with almost no root system at all. I planted it anyways so hopefully it survives! The lavender is gorgeous!
I finally had luck, and my lavender came back this spring after years of terrible luck and replanting. It looked pretty poorly in the spring, but it is now blooming! I also purchased a lavender topiary this spring that I under planted with Creeping Jenny, and its a stunner! I love your lavender hedge and its shade.
Beautiful❤ Thanks for tip on how to keep lavender from having a woody base, mine does and so will start cutting my new ones back harder to keep that soft look🌾🌾
That area has evolved beautifully. You just have that ‘touch’. I would love to see the planter update, the ones you and Aaron planted. I’m rooting for him, ya know. Lol.
Such beautiful lavender and so full of color! Going to try to grow it in our new garden and 🤞🏼 I can amend the soil just right. Lovely video Laura! 😃💐💚💚💚💚💚💚
Anyone else wanting to have her go in the garden the entire video? Lol
Please do an update on your veggie garden!!!!
I definitely want to get into her rose bush😅
Wow! It amazes me how easily you call out the names of every single plant in your yard! 🤗
the names just roll out her tongue, its amazing. I wish I knew the name of half my plants.
Love💜Lavender
Thanks for Sharing Your Beautiful Lavender
🌱🌻🌲🌺🌹🌼I love the unique colour of 'Sweet Romance' Lavender!🌸 Please do a vegetable garden tour!🌽🍅🥒🥔🥕Thank you Laura for the amazing update!🌼🌹🌺🌲🌻🌱
Beautiful. I have tried to grow lavender and just do not have luck with it. But the color of yours against that dark fence is striking!
Me too! Ive tried different varieties of lavender and it never does well for me!

I have Spanish lavender next to my koi pond and it smells divine as you walk by, or the wind shifts. Awesome plant....but don’t over water them!
Thank you again Laura and Aaron for another great video.
Please can you tour the garden centre again, they are really interesting
Another one
The color! The water bill!
lovely, lovely, lovely
Just gorgeous.
Absolutely gorgeous colors.

Why not? Lazy people don’t work hard.

Love watching your videos. I am not creative at all but I learn a lot and get such good ideas from you!
This looks so beautiful I wish I could have a garden this size but definitely planting these in my veggie garden 😍
Planted this last year and it is looking beautiful.
This is the exact Lavender that my husband and I planted all along our driveway this year. It looks beautiful already. Can't wait to see these next year.
I love lavender!! I plant alot in my gardens! Love the Sweet Romance variety, yours is gorgeous!!💜💜💜💜👍🌿🌞💜💜💜💜
I have been just watching your videos for the past month ( since I found your channel) every free moment - love everything your garden, your knowledge, and the sharing of your Mother's and other gardens. Thank you
Even your veggie garden is esthetically pleasing! Your vision is amazing!
I would love to see a full evergreen garden bed!! I think it would be so pretty with your cold winters!
Its amazing just how much the whole area has transformed right infront of our eyes too. Your garden gives me life! Thanks for sharing Laura!!

The lavender is gorgeous and the pots from Easter looks awesome 😎
Beautifull and well arranged!!!
Laura your veg garden looks beautiful! You've really managed that line where your veg garden looks pretty which is no small feat! The Lavender is the icing on the cake soo pretty. Happy gardening.
Your garden is getting more beautiful in every video
That is a beautiful garden section. The pots look stunning with the lavender.

I just love watching your videos. I learn so much and you make planting/growing a fun activity. Thanks for encouraging me to Just Do It with planting.
The lavender is beautiful!! So is the rest of your garden 💜
I use to cut my lavender but I have seen more growth on its own, very self sufficient. I never thought to place fertilizer once a year. 👍🏻
Beautiful!! We added Lavender just off our patio thanks to you. It is growing so well. And the smell is awesome. Thank you for all the inspiration you provide!!
Lavender loves the heat, if you put it in borderline baking conditions it will thrive.

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing !
Sweet Romance is so sweet! I love how it looks after cutting down and keeping it soft instead of getting woody!
Your garden is gorgeous thankyou ☺️
Here it is the day after the winter solstice and all I want for Christmas is summer. This is such a joy to watch on this dark, winter day.
Love your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I remember when you planted this! Loving the updates
It’s looking so great!
💜Wow! It is beautiful 💜
🌳Everything looks so pretty.
🍅🌽Veggie garden tour please!

OMG!!! GOR-GEOUS! 😍😍 I have been trying to grow lavender in a pot for the first time, but have failed. Could you please, please,please suggest or do a tutorial on successfully growing lavender in a pot.
I would use either half soil half sand or a cactus mix so you have good drainage. They don't like wet feet.
P Allen Smith has a good tutorial on growing lavender.
I have grown a few in containers, and when I do .......I use cactus mix in CLAY pot. 😊
They do not do “wet feet”!
It dries out the Lavender very well before I watt again.
The lavender is absolutely stunning. Still just adore the black fence too!! And all those veggies!! Looks like you are going to have a great season.
👍🏻
Love, love, love lavender tea. Gorgeous.
The yucca centerpiece in the vegetable garden is genius. Love everything this video!
Absolutely Beautiful along that fence. Thanks for sharing.
That whole side of your property is looking absolutely gorgeous. I never knew before about cutting back lavender but won't do it with my older woody ones but any new plants I'll be able to do that.
Great choice- beautiful plant.
So inspiring
Ooooh. I really like that. Beautiful color and that size is really nice. I'm going to have to watch for that next year.
Love the expression "they bury their dead" must remember that
Sooo pretty !!!!
i like purple color and flowers. thank you.
I’m tempted to try lavender again after watching this. I live in Southern Maine (zone 5a) but tend to not have great luck with it. It’s just so pretty that maybe I should give this kind a try if I can find it.

Thank you thank you thank you for the update on the limelights! I just planted one in full sun, so I’m glad to hear yours are doing great!
Those planters look fabulous. Love them.
I'm a Lavender Lover 😌
I should of really checked the root system of the PW Limelight I got last month. When I got it home and dug the hole it honestly fell out of the container with almost no root system at all. I planted it anyways so hopefully it survives! The lavender is gorgeous!
I love that color so beautiful. But i must admit I have had not a lot of luck either with planting Lavendar you are so lucky. Love the Easter pots

It looks fantastic 👍
Yes I just put lavender in my garden. I’m so excited for this video.❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊😊
I Love Lavender So Much 💜 Just like some others I do not seem to
be able to grow it well ~ Glad Yours has been successful 🌿
Love your center planter in your garden area also👍☺🌿🌺🌼
That color against your fence line is beautiful
Looks great! I love it against the dark fence 😍
That area has evolved beautifully. You just have that ‘touch’. I would love to see the planter update, the ones you and Aaron planted. I’m rooting for him, ya know. Lol.
I love update videos!
