English Lavender — Live Cuttings
We offer live cuttings of English lavender, a hardy, fragrant perennial herb that thrives in poor soil, tolerates heat and drought, and fills the garden with its beautiful bluish-purple blooms and aromatic foliage.
Mature plants grow about 18–20 inches tall and 2 feet wide, making them perfect for borders, pollinator gardens, or small lavender fields.
Hardiness: Zone 5+
Growing lavender from cuttings is the most economical and efficient way to expand your lavender patch. It does require some care and patience — but with the right steps, your cuttings will develop into strong, healthy plants.
How to Grow Lavender from Cuttings
Our cuttings are single stems with about 1 inch of woody base, taken from healthy, live lavender plants. They may or may not include a flower head depending on the season. Cuttings do not have roots yet, so they need to be rooted first.
Step-by-Step:
-
Prepare the pot
Use a well-draining, light sandy soil with a bit of compost or manure. -
Plant the cutting
Insert it into the soil so that the woody part is fully underground. -
Water carefully
Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. -
Choose a sunny spot
Place the pot in a bright location — lavender loves full sun. -
Be patient — and don’t disturb
Do not transplant or handle the plant while it is rooting. Wait until it develops visible new green, bushy growth. -
Transplant outdoors
Once your lavender is at least 5 inches tall with a 3-inch spread, transplant it to its permanent sunny spot in the garden.
✨ Tip: Once established, lavender is a low-maintenance plant that rewards you with beautiful blooms, calming fragrance, and a pollinator-friendly garden. Growing from cuttings lets you create a lush lavender field in just a season or two!
