Subject: [CHAT] Lavender source


I've purchased a lot of things from High Country, too, and they do
supply 
excellent plants.  They carry, as i remember, about 10 lavenders.  But
if 
you're looking for real variety, you might try Well Sweep in NJ.  They
carry 
78 - count 'em! - 78 Lavenders and Lavendins.  Some are very tender and 
wouldn't survive up here, but for those of you south - who knows, maybe
even in 
Noreens heat and humidity - there may be a variety just right for your 
conditions.  I purchased from WS this spring and was very pleased with
the 
plants I received.  And they seemed like nice, knowledgeable people on
the 
phone.
