How far apart should English Lavender be planted?

"...sow seed in the spring directly where it is to be grown. Plants will grow ten to twelve inches wide within two years of sowing."

(from first website listed below)



"Some growers plant out in rows 2 feet apart, leaving a foot between each plant. Another mode of planting favoured is to plant out 18 inches apart each way and when these plants have occupied the ground for one year, each intervening plant and those of every other row are taken out, leaving the land planted 36 inches by 36 inches, the wide spaces being judged to allow the plant full growth for flower-bearing, room for cutting flowers and for keeping the ground quite clear of weeds. The plants removed are utilized for planting up fresh ground, each being divided into about three."

I've been wanting to grow lavender for some time, but unsure if it will grow in my region (southeast Texas)...I believe I'll give it a go this year!



Good luck!

How far apart should English Lavender be planted?
At least a foot apart.
Reply:I think at least 3 feet apart to allow each plant to spread.
