My favorite lavender is sensational and second is phenomenal. They both endure our humidity here in New England. Also important to add lime to keep the soil alkaline as much as possible
Great video on lavender, it was the bees knees. The only lavender I have seen for sale in garden centres here in Ireland is munstead. I think I grew some in pots years ago but the big freeze of December 2010 killed them.
Over here we tend to get everything but Munstead, as the shops are full of cheap European imports! I guess they sell more of them if gardeners have to replace them every year! Simon
Another good, helpful video. I have had lavender a few times but it always goes leggy. Bought new last year but again not liking it, it is going straggly already. I will cut back in August and see what it is like but otherwise it will be coming out. Could you do something on Begonia x tuberhybrida please, I have some from last year and they are not getting any flowers, lots of healthy looking foliage but thats all. Also, do you know anything on black bamboo. My sister has it and I do not know what has happened but looks as if it is dying. It was already there when she bought the house 3 years ago. The leaves have all gone brown and it just looks a mess. The other bamboo next to it looks ok. Such a shame as it is nice. Thank you.
Hi Susan, sadly, I haven't grown Begonia x tuberhybrida, so I can't give any first-hand information on it, but I do have black bamboo here. I am doing the background work for a bamboo video, so I will add black bamboo to the list. Good luck with your lavender and thanks Thanks for getting in touch. Simon
Solid video, ive struggled with Lavender over the years, due to my ignorance it would seem!
They just need a bit more neglect than other plants, I'm sure you will do fine with them in the future. Simon
