Lavender Plants
See Propagation List for current selection.
Our worldly selection of plants means that we have Lavender in many colourful varieties, and to suit varying climates. Lavender plant selection is best in July when the potted plants are in bloom and customers can choose easily, even without any Latin identification. Lavender plants can be planted in your garden almost any month in Victoria, as long as the soil is not frozen or flooded. For the drier summer months, prepare and pre water your planting hole. You will need to give your new planting extra attention at any time of the year until they are "established" or well rooted in their new "home", this usually takes about 6 months. Only then can they be termed "drought tolerant". Please remember: you want your Lavenders to thrive: not just survive!
Lavender plants are only available right from Happy Valley Farm, we do not send them through the mail. Some are available in limited quantities only. We welcome advance orders where we custom grow by seed or cuttings from our established Lavender, for your Lavender collection or gardens. To make an advance order, you may contact us by phone at 250-474-5767 or e-mail lynda@happyvalleylavender.com. (We do not ship plants into the USA at any time because of the possible soil contamination as regulated by the Agricultural Board)
For Lavender aficionados; we carry a great selection of: "Sweet Lavenders" (Lavandula angustifolias), the historic "Monks Lavender" (Lavandula spica or L. latifolia), "Spanish Lavenders" (Lavandula stoeachas), the popular Lavandins that are all the rage right now (a hybrid developed by breeding the Sweet Lavender and the Spike or Monks Lavender) and lastly, very dynamic Lanata x Lavenders that are great landscaping Lavenders with bold silver foliage and deep purple blooms. As always we field test for winter hardiness as well as over all performance….
$4.00 for a 4" pot $10.00 for a gallon pot
Vegetable Starts available at Happy Valley
I love my vegetable garden!
Every year is different with Madame Weather and by September you just never know who will be the star of the season? Over recent years I grow enough of my favourite Vegetables to share starts with YOU!
I start with the cool loving veggies like Onions, Shallots & Leeks to dear Mr Basil & all his Tomato friends…and everything in between like Broccoli, Cauliflower, Squashes, Swiss Chard & Kale.
Not forgetting a bit of flair with colourful Sweet Peas, Calendula, Nasturtiums and annual Herbs like Arugula, Coriander, Dill and Mr Basil!
There always are surprising temptations to try each year … What will tempt me this year?
The Nursery opens weekends beginning in April … E-mail me requests at: lynda@happyvalleylavender.com
