Disease
First Flush Lavender can be susceptible to downy mildew. This fungal disease occurs when the days are wet and humid. It causes drooping leaves and yellow and brown spots. Treat downy mildew with a fungicide to prevent excessive leaf drops. Most importantly, prevent downy mildew by providing adequate airflow in the greenhouse and plenty of space between containers, watering at the base of each plant in the morning and allowing the soil to dry out between waterings, and growing plants in a location with full sun.
Planting First Flush Lavender Liners
We recommend planting one rooted plug per 4-inch or 6-inch container. Use well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot in the center of the pot.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
