I'm trying 2 different varieties here in N. Georgia. Our humidity doesn't go well with them but they're growing well in a gravel bed. We'll see how they survive this winter. Any varieties you know that do well here?
The best chance for success is checking that they are rated for your growing zone! Since we don't have much experience in your area, we recommend reaching out to your local, independent garden center for the most accurate advice!
I've started a Lavender hedge (ran out of $$ and plants), hoping to complete it next season. Is it easy to propagate, either through cuttings or division?
Clump division in early fall is easiest method of propagation. sowing seeds is next, then non-flowering (side shoot) stem cuttings, dipped in rooting hormone and planted in a well-drained soil is third.
