Pipi....my lav is Munsted that I grew from seed a few years back. They seem to like my climate here. I'm in a semi arid region of the southwest. Yes, they grow wonderfully, there are several plants to the side out of the pix view. The two other blues in the pix behind are veronica spicata "Sightseeing Blue", they are all summer bloomers too. The only problem I've ever experienced with lav. is transplanting a full grown specimen, didn't take that's why I grew from seed, (cheaper than buying,lol).

pix 1: veronica spicata SSBlue at 28", spring-frost, (closeup)
pix:2: full grown V. s. SSblue, also shows the variation in color from the two plants, both from the same batch of seeds tho.

Maybe those who would like to grow lav. and can't might try the veronica, most on the market are 18" or shorter depending on the variety.
