I'd love to plant some lavender but am uncertain what type will tolerate our humidity. Yours are beautiful! Can you tell me what variety and how old your plants are? Thanks so much!
My plants are about 6 years old and pretty well established now. They're "Fat Spike" L. intermedia 'Grosso' -- a "lavandin" I believe rather than an English type lavender. If you ever get out to the area near Dulles airport (especially around May), stop in at DeBaggio's nursery... they don't do mail order, but they have one of the best selections of lavenders and other herbs around. Their web site is also an excellent source of information. http://www.debaggioherbs.com/
You're welcome! Tom DeBaggio, who started the business, taught me so much about growing herbs and plants in general... we're fortunate that his son shared his passion for plants and has continued the business after Tom was sidelined with Alzheimer's, and we're even more fortunate that Tom wrote down so much of what he knows in several great books. :-)
