Re: spanish lavender

**N* S* <N*@monrovia.com>**

Hello Kate,

Nan is a WOW on plants................hello Nan. The only thing I might 
add is that the Spanish flavors are the very first to bloom. Living in 
California, gosh its been a lovely sunny day today! Mine in the garden are 
now starting to set their buds. Dare I suggest that the possibility that 
the plants were passed their blooming season when you received them?  If 
your still in the mind to try Lavender again, might suggest 
Provence................a blooming fool. Thank you for a wonderful meeting 
in your city last year.

Best regards,

Nicholas

Have you tried Lavender Lady which blooms from seed the first yr? Most 
English lavenders will bloom early from cuttings. Spanish are more  tender 
and 
southerly but it is not difficult to get though. As a source for 
containers 
maybe try Richters in Canada - they do bulk plugs of most of the  common 
herbs.

Last  year, I had Spanish lavender specially grown for the 25 containers I 

plant at  Indianapolis City Market, but it never bloomed. The grower 
brought 
in plugs  from Washington State (who knew it would be so hard to find this 

plant?)...which we won't do again. But I wonder if anyone can suggest why 
the  lavender did not bloom. I need an 'annual' good flowering 
lavender...the 
 perennial types might work and I'm considering them. For the summer, I 
try 
to  use edible plants in keeping with the food theme of the market.

Thank  you.
