Jill,

How long did it take for that hedge to get nice and full like that. Did you start with mature plants or seedlings, etc.

thanks!

It was probably 4 years old before it really started hitting its stride. I started out with 8 or 9 plants in 4 inch pots. The first couple of years, I did a lot of pinching tips on the plants so they'd get bushy. It also helps that 'Grosso' (aka "Fat Spike") Lavendin is a large and sturdy variety!
