Re: spanish lavender

Hi Jo Ellen,

Your soil may be too rich. My in-ground lavender garden was planted as a
last resort in a drainage bed for runoff that is almost entirely half-to
three-quarter inch limestone fill. There was once a thick layer of wood
chips, which has pretty much disintegrated. Practically no soil. Nothing
would grow there before other than anemic, patchy pachysandra. I have a
half-dozen different kinds of lavender and they all flourish, but
Provence is by far the biggest and most profuse with blooms. It can get
floppy, though, so you have to cut it back.

Regards,
Lois
