How does a lavender plant reproduce?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

While MOST flowering plants and shrubs give off seeds ... one has to be SUPER-DILIGENT to find them on a lilac bush.

The best way to find Lilac bushes is to either take hard-wood cuttings from old growth or TRY to take out a "sucker" plant from a main plant? It's not easy, but with careful digging, one CAN get a "sucker" plant that might survive, depending on how you treat it, where you live, the humidity, the soil ... you name it!!

Does lavender need lime?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you are considering adding lime to your garden soil, you should first get a soil test. In most states and counties, this a free service provided by the state university extension service. Adding lime to the soil will not only increase the amount of calcium available, but raise the pH. Most plants need a slightly acid pH (lower than 7.0) to absorb nutrients from the soil around them. Plants use calcium in somewhat the same way that people do. While people use calcium to make their bones, plants use it to make the firm spaces in cell walls and the between cells. So the answer is: It depends. If the soil is poor in calcium and the pH is very low, the addition of lime will help. But lavender really likes well drained soil and plenty of sun. A dense, clay soil will not allow the lavender roots to "breathe" and it will drown. Again, a soil test is the first step in determining a plant's needs.

How do you dry lavender?

User Avatar

Asked by Zippoid

Cut a bundle of lavender, about 8 oz which is a bundle that will fit in your hand, and place a rubber band around the stems. A lot of people are unnecessarily worried about cutting their lavender plants, when actually, it should be done to help the plant grow fuller. Hang the bundle upside down by the rubber band in a dark dry place. I use the garage, but you can use a closet or attic. Hanging the bundle in darkness helps the lavender to keep it's beautiful color. You can bend a paper clip or Christmas ornament hook and hook it through the rubber band, or hang the bundle from a nail, just make sure the bundle isn't touching a wall or something to avoid smooshing. Upside down, the stalks will stiffen and the bundle will retain shape. Leave the bundle drying for about one week. You will be able to tell by touch if the drying process is finished. There will be no moisture and the stems will not be pliable. Your dried lavender stalks can be used for floral arrangements or other crafts. But, if you are drying the lavender for the buds, keep the bundle upside down and place a large bowl or bucket under the lavender. Gently rub your hands from top to bottom, shaking loose the buds. Store them in an air tight container until you have use for them. Good Luck! well, to start...how do you wash it?
