Always informative and fun.
Glad you enjoyed it
Love the sound effects of the lavender falling!
They like to perform to a drum roll 😃 Glad you appreciated it Krys.
It's always great to find free plants and your lavender looks amazing growing near the steps!
Thank you Lyn, I do enjoy getting the free plants as they sometimes need replacing.
Your path is indeed a great source of free plants! You did a great job getting those tap roots out without breaking them. Obviously not the first time you've done it as you seem to know exactly how much pressure to apply. Lovely that you are able to give them away to plant lovers.
I actually thought that first one was going to defeat me - one more good tug and 'Ya esta!'
I never knew lavender would root itself like this! Makes me want to look around on a sidewalk in front of a well landscaped home. 😂 I’m building mine. Hello from S. Puget Sound!
It's always worth having a close look around, under plants and in cracks in a pathway - never know what little gems are growing. Puget Sound...Looks like a fascinating and interesting part of the world you live.
Hi Paul, The bees must love visiting your garden.They probably think that they're dining in a Michelin star restaurant! Stay safe in these concerning times.
Hi Wendy, there have been a good number of bees in the garden this year, I love it!
It’s very romantic to grow lavender.
You have a lot of pretty pots
Thank you - yes, lavender is a bit special.
I have loads of lavender both English and intermedia varieties here in my eastern Colorado garden. English lavender especially is very hardy. We are a zone 5 so our low temps can be minus 10 to minus 20 Fahrenheit. My English reseeds all over and I've had some plants for 20+ years. Absolutely one of my favourites!
That's really good to know you are doing well with lavender at zone 5. When do you cut your lavender back? late Summer or Spring?
@@paultsworld I do a severe prune in the spring and a light, shaping prune after flowering to encourage another bloom on my angustifolia varieties. Not such a harsh prune on the intermedia in the spring.
@@bluesky7226 That's interesting that you get a second bloom - I'll try that next year.
I wish my lavender can send seedlings like yours one day!😍
You could try collecting the seeds and sow them in a tray with a sandy mix - it might work.
Wow the roots are longer than foliage. It's so nice to give away to plants lover. Looks so easy to grow but it's a little hard to me include rosemary as well.
Thanks for sharing ^^
I know - those roots go on forever! All the best Peace Lily.
love the elegant way you pull it out, unlike me!
It didn’t feel elegant! I thought the first one was going to defeat me.
Great job Paul I love watching your garden videos!
Thank you, I appreciate that.
The video is very creative! The world is unparalleled! I like it very much! Learn from you! Thank you!
Thank you - I am pleased you found my video useful.
Lovely to give plants away....such special gifts. Nice sedum in the background...fall is coming. Thank heaven after months of high temps and vey high humidity in greater Philadelphia region!
I'm really looking forward to the sedum coming out - the bees and butterflies love it. How nice your temperatures are going to be really pleasant for the next few months - I do like Autumn.
Loved the advice. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Amazingly tough little plant. I’d love more in my garden. Looks like I’ve over watered my propagating plants. I will keep trying. Thank you for showing how tough English lavender is. 😊🌱
Lavender is quite a plant isn't it? Good luck with yours, always useful to change things so you find what works best for you.
Paul T's World thank for the advice. I will use it. 😊🌱♻️
Great video! You saved the lavender you are a hero! I'm from Arizona and lavender is my friend! Keeps the scorpions away! I'm going to try and grow more too! Thanks
Good for you! I didn’t know that they keep scorpions away!
Love this and love lavender , thank you .
Thank you for your comment!
I love gardening..This is very helpful. thank you for sharing my friend. New supporter here.. God bless
Thank you and welcome to my channel Geraldine.
Hidcote is my favourite, I love the plants that give! Enjoy that beautiful summer weather. 25-30 deg C Perfect! Heat wave!? chortle, chortle!
Hi Margaret yes, Hidcote is lovely. 21-24c perfect 😎. 25-30c 😱
True, 23 deg C the perfect gardening temperature.
Looking good pal! Funny audio adds, Paul. ;)
That first seedling almost had you beat though. I was picturing myself ringside and the lavender was about to be the new reining champion. :P
Nice edit! Thank you!
Hi Nate: He was a big bruiser - pressure on as it was live TV! 😀
That’s great idea 😃 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you Flowerwind.
I like how you’ve brought a positive to the fact that block paving harbours seedlings. Unfortunately not all are welcome in my front yard. Good to see you getting hands on, it’s surprising how strong 💪 a little plant takes root 👍🏼
I’m thinking I might do something along similar lines in the future and will give this a shout out.
Ha, yes - unfortunately every other weed likes it there too!
I'll look out for your video - cheers.
my word last few yrs ive been throwing those away as weeds,,,not this yr ill be planting them out..great vid
Absolutely - it’s great to have free plants!
How sweet you are with the little ones 🙂. Please come to my garden!
Thanks Meggi 😎
Omg if only I could live in a place of such class that English lavender is growing through the cracks of concrete...scentsational
I know - it does look funny. The little concrete blocks are set in sand - perfect for lavender seedlings.
This was great, I’m going to check to see if I have any baby seedlings that I can pot up ☺️
Hope you find something - I've found quite a few: gooseberry, buddleia, foxglove even an acer seedling.
You are like a Gordon Ramsey but for plants :) nice job!
Ha, ha - thank you.
I'm so jealous of your lavender yard!
So glad you like the lavender!
@@paultsworld I just bought 6 pots and still scratching my head how to plant it on the ground
Very well drained soil - you could even add in some sand. Lavender like alkaline soil so you could even add a little lime. I bought some lime pellets on Amazon. But they do want to be watered - particularly when they are newly planted - don't let them go too dry in their first Summer.
@@paultsworld thanks Paul! Going to try your tips. Going to try to keep them alive this summer.
Good for you - good luck.
Brilliant video that, imagine the amount of viable plants people take out of there patios when weeding.
I know - it's always worth checking the seedlings (weeds) around the garden in case there are gems in amongst.
Great vid Paul , I'm planning on planting a dwarf variety next yr called Little Lady , Lavandula Augustifolia. Were the ones you planted up last yr , the same size to begin with as the ones you dug up on this video ... if they were they've grown really well . Keep up the good work and top vids 👍
Thanks Big D.
Yes, the ones planted up last year were exactly the same size as the ones I pulled out of the path...same routine. I have a little production line: path seedling - small pot - then ground or big pot.
I've just googled "Little lady" - looks a very nice lavender, let me know how it goes next year.
You're so lucky Paul to have a constant flow of replacement lavender plants because if you want to keep lavender contained eg if its bordering a pathway, you need to replace them regularly. And you dont have to be fussing with taking cuttings either!
That's right - so far I've been replacing them just one at a time but sometimes I'm tempted to replace the whole lot. What do you do Maureen?
@@paultsworld I do the same as you Paul, I replace them one at a time but I have to take cuttings
Good to know, thank you. You must lay a block paving path - will save you lots of time in the future Maureen - 😅
@@paultsworld 😀 I think I'll stick to the cuttings Paul.
I didn't know lavender would "self" seed. I'm growing some from seed and they are still small but at least they will have a root made for spring. We get a lot of rain so I don't have to water them. I thought lavender was a delicate plant. I would love to make a lavender edging along garden path to my front door and now I think I could afford to! Thank you Paul. Keep well v
I really like my lavender along the path - that's great you're growing from seed - those I've just taken from the path will put up a couple of flowers next Summer - yours will too Vera.
Thanks for sharing Paul!
Thanks Dandee - it smells really nice as well.
Yes it is indeed :)
Thankyou for this. I've found what I think is a hardy geranium groundciver growing in my cracked path, think I'm going to try this with it
Its very satisfying - let me know how it works out. The other thing is it encourages us to recognise what is self seeding - obviously many are weeds but some are little gems reading to grow on.
Paul T's World this appeared last year(didn’t flower ) and it’s back again, I’m sure it’s a geranium. But wouldn’t of dreamt of just pulling it up, I’ll try 😊
Nice and gentle - but hold firm. The lavender are tricky because the roots are so long. Good luck.
Paul T's World thankyou
Good afternoon from my Country...Sir.
I love Lavender so much but unfortunately i can't grow in my garden...because of our climate. I live in a tropical Country...
Thani you...Anf have a wonderful weekend.
Good afternoon Zaleha, have a nice weekend.
@@paultsworld i would like to know about Lavender....is it lasting?
Say HELLO to all beautiful flowers in your garden...
Good wishes to you and yours.
@@zalehaburude7752 It starts to flower in June and last through to August - it enjoys the sunny warm days when the butterflies and bees are most active.
Best wishes to you.
I never see someone who grows seedlings in between the bricks! that's so odd and fantastic! what an effortless sowing of seeds hahaha. Mine just won't germinate even if I put then in a good potting medium.
Maybe I just throw the seeds anywhere in the brick pathway in my garden and be surprise when they germinated. 😁
Yes, try putting seeds in sand and water occasionally - that's more or less how my seeds are growing in the pathway.
@@paultsworld thanks! I'll drop to the market today to buy seeds and do what you said, I will do a reply for the update😁
Thanks - I’ll be interested to know how you get on.
Hello Paul. Lavender is my favorite scent in the garden. I tried growing in the past but there is high summer heat and humidity and it didn’t do well. Can it be grown in pots without replanting in the garden? Thank you for the informative video.
Yes Jane - absolutely. We often have lavender in pots and they do well.
Great video, are these different from Hidcote then?
Thank you. Most of them are Hidcote and some are Munsted. Very similar plants.

I have potted young small English Lavender the same size as yours. Will you prune them now or wait until autumn. Also my young Lavender didnt flower last year but has nice green growth is this normal
Nice green growth is a good sign. I’d wait now and let them flower - then prune them back as soon as the flowers are spent in the Summer so there’s plenty of time for new growth and flowering the following Summer.
Any suggestions for overwintering your seedlings?
Hi Lee, in England the seedlings can sit outside no problem - if there looks as though there’s going to be a frost after rain then I’ll just put them under a cloche so they don’t get wet. It’s wet and cold they don’t like - just one of those is fine.
You make it look so easy, then I guess my zone is just not suitable for this type of plants because I don't know what I'm doing wrong my lavenders always die....
Sorry to hear your lavenders aren’t doing well.
The want a very free draining soil - add in sand/grit, lots of sunshine. The don’t like an acidic soil, so adding a little lime to the mix would help.
They don’t want to go totally dry so watering is a must if it doesn’t rain.
In Winter they can stand very cold temperatures as long as it’s not wet - cold and wet will kill them.
How about trying one in a pot with these conditions?
Good luck.
@@paultsworld Thank you very much for your advice. I'll buy some garden lime tomorrow. 💕
Good luck - let me know how it goes.
@@paultsworld Alright I will, just give me a couple of months if I don't forget it.
🤗🤗
Thank you for watching.
This must be due to your sandy soil? I've masses of Lavenders, some still small, one old one was a cutting from those we had in 1974; they are all in pots (various reasons why). I have never found a seedling. Have you ever had Lavandula 'Blue Ice'? It's a terrific tall and sturdy plant, late flowering. I'd give you cuttings but ... !
The steps and pathway have a hardcore foundation with the blocks then laid into a layer of sand - so these seedlings are rooting into the sand - it works really well!
I like the sound of your 'Blue Ice' cuttings - maybe at a later date!
Thank you so much for sharing nice video sir. What is the purpose for putting gravel? Does this Apply to every pot plant?
I put gravel in most pots, it's not absolutely necessary but I like to:
It keeps the moisture away from the stem, it stops the compost flushing out of the pot when I water, the sun doesn't get to the compost to dry it out and also it can look nice and give a 'finished' look to the pot.
With bigger pots I use bigger gravel. Thank you Jagdish for an interesting question.
Thank you so much sir
As always, you are most welcome.
How did you know I wanted to grow a lavender hedge?
Lucky guess maybe?
Do you keep pots outdoor during the winter?
Yes, all the pots stay outside. I am in zone 9a so as long as the soil is very free draining there isn’t a problem. If your Winter is harsher then make sure the soil isn’t wet AND cold - also putting the pot next to the house will keep it warmer. Lavender can survive very cold Winters.
@@paultsworld I was curious as to exactly what zone you are in. I am in a zone 8 so can learn so much from you.
Where do u get this plastic tubs or what u call them? I need this in my garden
Do you mean these plastic trugs? amzn.to/34ed0d3 (this is an affiliate link)
@@paultsworld yes! Thank you! I must say you are one of the best garden shows here on TH-cam so keep up the great work! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Oh, thank you - so kind.
Free lavender...
Step 1) Live where it grows wild.
-_-
Can you send me the lavender seeds via FedEx?
Thank you for watching the video. Sorry, I am not allowed to send seeds internationally.
@@paultsworld Great thanks for you reply💖💖💖 Im obsessed with lavender I live in Iraq Baghdad and Im seeking for the seeds with no chance to find them< I want to make a garden full of lavender.. I heard that English Lavender is so strong But Can it thrive in hot areas like Iraq? and there is a species called Lavendula Dentata that is native to the middle east.
Perhaps you could try French lavender which might deal with the hot Summer better - but you are correct English lavender is tough and likes plenty of sun.
If you could find a plant somewhere it is easy to take cuttings from them - check out youtube videos on cuttings.
I think you are correct, Dentata might be a good one if you can find seeds or get cuttings. Good luck.
@@paultsworld 💖💖💖💖 Im very happy to receive from you mister Paul... I will try my best to find the seeds or the cuttings cause Im obsessed with lavender...
Best Regards.
Fahad.
Good luck!
