  • mine is about this size but has been growing since march (photo from mylavendergarden.com)

Gardening: My Lavender is lackluster! Help?

I'm having great luck with all my flowers/plants so far this spring EXCEPT for my lavender. It's quite pathetic looking, frankly. I'm not sure if lavender is generally a slow-grower but mine is growing at less than a snails pace. Any tips out there for helping my lavender to grow and thrive? I want to help it, but not sure how! Thanks everyone :) (It is potted on my deck)

    moisture, they like dry arid conditions, lots of sun and no mulch or any organic matter around the roots. They want all day sun as well. I put mine at the very edge of the garden where the automatic sprinklers just don't reach them and they do great.

Gardening: Weed?

I have this coming up all through my flowerbed. Can anyone tell me what it is? I can't find anything online that even looks remotely close. I live in the West Central part of Oklahoma if that means anything...

    invasive. I've been working for the past year to get it under control. The only thing I've found that helps is Roundup, (which does a great job) but I can only use it where there isn't any other vegetation. Thank goodness it's a rock garden and I haven't added all the plants yet! The digging and pulling of the root system seems to be an endless battle. I think I'm going to try to local extension office for some help. Thanks for the suggestion Catherine.

  • There's only one flower spike in about five iris plants in my garden.
  • It's gorgeous, but lonely
  • Love the colour variations between the upper and lower petals. Plus the nectar stripes are so pretty.

Gardening: One Lonely Iris

Last year, I planted a number of iris cuttings from a friend. The only one to bloom has just opened. They are in full sun and I planted them shallow as I've done before successfully. What could be wrong?

Gardening: Just bought a passion plant. Never saw one before.
