Guest guest Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Good Day Everyone, Question: Can lavender bushes be planted in containers? I have the opportunity to get some sub zero Lavendula officinalis and since I rent do not want to plant it in the land lady's yard.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Hey Cheryl - My soil is very badly compacted & so I keep just about everything in pots and tubs including many different varieties of lavender. An advantage to doing this is that you can rotate the pots and yes, even move them as the plants grow grow. I have planted pumpkin seeds directly in the soil. One year I had a massive patch of two different varieties of pumpkin growing all over my front yard. One day I counted about 40 of them. Unfortunately, the squirrels would take a bite or two out of nearly everyone of them. Nevertheless, the leaves were gigantic and they would climb my fence and even the evergreen tree was laden with vine and the squash blossoms on the tree were gorgeous! I managed to get two to come to full fruit. Ooops, LAVENDER - sorry. Some years, the lavender blooms beautifully in the pots. Last year I got plenty of greenery and not much flower. Hope springs eternal and Spring is right around the corner - so I will try again with some amended soil in the pots.

I plant all kinds of herbs in pots... have some rosemary in my greenhouse right now but have had almost every herb in pots even during summer.
