Cataloging #lavender-phenomenal. A repeat bloomer and supposedly idiot proof, so ideal for yours truly 😜 Also it pays to hang on cataloging a new encyclopaedia entry and waiting until someone else does it first 😂 Also known as 'Niko'.

Foolproof you say 🤔 I can’t keep lavender alive whatever I try. Love it so much but the feelings aren’t reciprocated 😂 might give this one a go. Looks pretty too 💜

@kez001uk 😂 Well if I can grow it, anybody can 😄 I've a row of 3 in an area of the border that's had minimal soil improvement, each sat on an inch of grit. The only advice I got was it's fairly vigorous and to not water it too much. It's supposed to keep its foliage in winter too.

@gardengimp think overwatering is a problem of mine 😂 but these are worth a last-ditch attempt at having lavender in my garden 😜 thanks Graham 😁
