Update on Lavender plants availability in 2021

All of my lavender plants this yearso far  are being used in the Mo. Extension Center's research project regarding the viability of lavender as a cash crop in this state.You can view these plants when they are planted in several weeks in the area behind the Herb Gardens in the Demonstration Gardens at the Botanical Center.While you're there, check out the Herb Gardens as well to see what the various herbs look like when they are "all grown up".All of the beds there have different themes like, culinary, teas, medicinals,thymes etc.

I was able to order some lavender plus since my poor mother plants are pretty bare at the moment from having so many cuttings taken from them. So I will have  Munstead, Provence, Grosso, Hidcote, Dutch Mill ,Phenominal  and a few other varieties  for sale probably not til late June or early July.
