Oh oregano would also. * * * * Plants: 2524 | From: Arkansas | Registered: Jul 2005  |  Seeded: 209.142.172.51 ChristinaC Garden Pro!

It's an absolutely beautiful herb...I just love it! * * * * Plants: 2202 | From: Ontario, Canada | Registered: Jan 2005  |  Seeded: 24.36.135.3 njoynit Garden Pro!

Member # 4351 posted                       Njoynit...maybe you're right about the lavender..there's probably different varieties you can grow. I'm just familiar with the lavender plants my mom grows. Trailing lavender would be great! I think I will look into it as well. * * * * Plants: 2202 | From: Ontario, Canada | Registered: Jan 2005  |  Seeded: 24.36.135.3 Ivy9 Great Gardener Member # 7686 posted                       I am interested in growing Lavender too. Is it hardy to zone 5? I have a sunny spot in the front Yard. Where would I get the starter plant? I tried seeds last yr without success Plants: 46 | From: Chicago IL | Registered: Jan 2006  |  Seeded: 128.135.42.39 comfrey Garden Pro! Member # 6055 posted                       Usually you can find it anywhere they have herb/flower plants. I even think I have seen it at Wally world when they have there plants outside. * * * * Plants: 2524 | From: Arkansas | Registered: Jul 2005  |  Seeded: 209.142.143.160 ChristinaC Garden Pro! Member # 4351 posted                       I believe lavender would be fine in zone 5. I don't grow it but my mom has beautiful bushes of it and we're zone 5b. She didn't start from seed..just bought the plants. * * * * Plants: 2202 | From: Ontario, Canada | Registered: Jan 2005  |  Seeded: 24.36.135.3
