I bought a packet of these last year to start early this year. Since 'Lady' is supposed to be a fast grower, blooming the first year, I had visions of edging my herb gardens with beautiful flowering lavender! My seeds have been sown since early March and are JUST NOW starting to germinate (that's 60 days!). I have given up on many things this year but kept the faith with these. Now we're hit with a cool spell...I hope they make it...my plants are in a machine shed since high winds here destroyed my new hoophouse :-(

Anyone else grown this? If so, how have they done for you, especially as far as hardiness?

BTW, the new herb bed is edged in borage since I didn't have much hope for the lavender. The old bed is edged in rue, started from seed last year and going strong this year despite being munched to the ground by swallowtail larvae! Just yesterday I noticed little blooms forming on them! Isn't gardening full of wonderful surprises?!?
