I planted some lavender last year in my herb garden, and it is growing well.
But it never blooms! It seems healthy, but it just never shows any sign of blooming. Why could this be?

It is still raining! We have gotten almost 18 inches since April 25th. Perhaps it will quit soon and I can take some pictures of mine!

Hi, DiAnn! I think it'll depend on where you live whether you should plant in fall or not. I've never had much luck starting lavender from seeds. I've tried a couple of times and had no success. Come to think of it, I haven't had much luck starting much of anything from seed that had to be started indoors. Maybe I'm not the one to be answering you...

Speaking of lavender. I too have not had great luck with it bought plant 2 times and never had any luck and it died out.
Now I have started some seed. Why I decided to do seeds I'm not really sure. The little plants are about 2" high right now. I made paper pots to put them in. Anyone know if I should just keep them in pots through out the summer just to get a stronger plant going and then maybe early fall plant them in the garden.
Any ideas?

They do like lime. Decent soil works just fine for them.
For tomorrow and its needs I do not pray, but keep me, guide me, love me, Lord just for today.

Sounds like I am being too good to them! They are still on the smallish side, and they get decent water and have great soil and compost.

How big is it? It wont bloom until it gets pretty fair sized i have seceral in various stages of growth right now if it ever quits raining i will take pictures and post them. Are you watering too much? It likes a fairly dry soil.

It could be to much fertilizer. To much makes healthy plants, but no blooms.

I planted 18-lavender shrubs last year and harvested lavender maybe 3X? The Munstead lavender that I planted survived our HORRID winter here in the UP and it is greening up nicely...all three of my Lady Lavender shrubs shriveled up so I pulled them.
I really don't know why you aren't getting any blossoms. My plot was covered with bees last year harvesting the nectar...Could it be the bees?
Sorry I couldn't help....
