I always take my new lavenders from cuttings. They alwyas seem to take, and I've put 13 down near my front gate to cover a gap, and 8 of them are fine, but I've got more in a pot waiting to go out, so I'll fill in the smaller gap with those!!!
Everytime I give some cuttings to my daughter to put a little colour in her garden, she kills them!!! Fingers of death my daughter has obviously!!!!
