Aww Go for it. Lavender is wonderful. I have it and you can eat it, as I bet you know.

Lavendar has a low germination rate, buy a lot and fresh, or even better buy a plant. The seeds will probably revert back, the cultivars and clones will more predictable.

Lavender has low tolerance for humidity and that's why.

I got plants and they did pretty well but once they die, is that it?

D: it has nothing to do with you, it's in the nature of the plant. I can't remember the percentage, but it wasn't very high. You just have to buy a large amount of seed. If you want a good Spanish Lavendar or something, it's better to buy a one gallon. They like it sunny and dry.

AA: No, they are perennial, they will last through most Winters and grow for a long time.

Ellyn

What about when they look totally dead. I threw some away. Was I wrong?

No, it is an evergreen, if it had lost all it's silvery green, it was probably gone.

In the spring I buy - very inexpensively- Lavender at Walmart. It's lovely in the garden, smells great and you can use it to flavor cookies etc.

Ciao
