Lavender, Czech (Lavandula angustifolia krajova ) potted plant, organic
$7.50 – $50.00
Family: Mint (Lamiaceae)
Hardy to Zones 5 to 9
(Country Lavender, Czech Lavender) Beautiful blue-flowered, long-lived cultivar from Northern Europe. High essential oil content, and the fragrance has a mellow quality that is nonetheless pervasive. Plant is very cold tolerant. Flowers to 3 feet high. Plants prefer full sun and a dry to mesic, well-drained soil. Commonly grown in open fields or as landscape plants, mellowing the corners and curbs between buildings, driveways and sidewalks. They are tough to the sun, and should be trimmed back in the fall to prevent large amounts of snow from accumulating on them. Space plants 2 to 3 feet apart.
Potted plant, Certified Organically Grown

hi renee,
probably not, unless you kept it in a pot and brought it in for the winter. these are indeed relatively compact, but are known to perish in winters colder than Zone 5.

Susan Keller –
Novice gardener here. Will the plants fill in when planted 2 to 3 feet apart? How long till they will fill in that space?

Admin Richo Cech –
Yes, they fill in nicely and take a year or two to get established. lavender needs to be watered from time to time to get established and then once established doesn’t need much additional care. They need to be trimmed back in the fall. Richo

May lavender seeds be planted outdoors in the fall in Zone 5?

Hi Erik,
No, I’d wait until early spring. But it is true that you can plant these successfully in a nursery bed and grow the seedlings closely together until they size up, then transplant them out.
