| | Lavender |
| | The lavenders bloom in midsummer, the English bearing gray-blue flowers, the fringed, blue flowers and the Spanish, deep purple or white flowers. | | | All of the lavenders are bushy perennials growing 1 to 3 feet tall, and all bear spikes of 1/4- to 1/2-inch flowers, usually arranged in multiple whorls atop slender stalks. | | | Because lavender seeds take about six weeks to germinate and seedlings grow very slowly, the plants are usually propagated from stem cuttings, which can be taken at any time of the year. |

| | Growing Lavender in Containers |
| | Lavenders are fairly drought tolerant plants, but like any plant in a container, the smaller the soil mass, the more quickly the container dries out and the more attention to watering is required. | | | Lavender likes to be repotted yearly, and this is a good time to mix a time-release fertilizer such as Osmocote into the potting mix. | | | Like all container plants, lavender will deplete the nutrition from the soil more quickly than plants planted out in the garden. |
