Delivery Prices

A typical delivery charge for potted shrubs like Lavender is £8 to £15, depending on the order size, if there are no larger plants like trees in the order as well.
Delivery is calculated automatically during checkout after you enter your delivery address.

Delivery Season

Lavender should be planted into warm soil.
If you plant it too early, before nighttime temperatures rise, the roots get shocked and set back, which is especially bad for little plants.

  • The smallest lavenders, in P9 pots, are never shipped before May
  • The larger pot sizes are usually shipped from the end of April, but cold weather can delay

Delivery Lead Time

  • Typically 2 weeks if the plant is actually in stock, rather than available to order before its delivery season
  • We process orders in batches to keep costs low
  • We keep you notified by email

Choosing a pot size

  • For window boxes and other containers, starting with the smallest, cheapest plants in P9 pots is great because it pots these little plants up while putting them to use ornamentally
    If you plant P9s out directly, the best time is late-May into June when the soil is warm and there is plenty of growing time before Winter. We don't recommend planting P9s out later: larger plants are stronger and will do better over their first Winter.
  • For quick borders, hedges and edges, or single shrubs that provide instant impact, larger plants in 2 litre pots are ideal. You get more root and more flower in the first year, and they do not look lost planted as a hedge at one every 13" (33cm)
    You can safely plant these and larger plants out later in the growing season.
  • For filling a spot in a mature flower border with a lavender muffin-mound, or for a truly instant lavender hedge, 5 Litre pots are the largest we grow. We reckon Lavender sold in pot sizes larger than 5L has a higher failure rate in its first Winter.

How many plants per metre? 

Lavender plants make great low ornamental evergreen hedging.

Spacing a Rosea Lavender hedge: Like most evergreen hedging, the default spacing is 3 per metre, 33cm apart in a single row.

In Your Garden Design

Rosea carries lilac-pink flowers over relatively green foliage from May-June into August-September. 

Lavender really shines as a hedge that you can brush past to release the rich, lingering perfume, evocative of sizzling holidays in the South of France. Plant it either side of a path, where it will soften the edges dreamily with its billowing spikes of scented flowers.
It works well as an alternative to box in a knot garden or parterre, enclosing a vegetable patch, spring bulbs, summer roses or any other perennial planting combination. Use alongside the more traditional rich purple varieties of lavender for a pretty juxtaposition; or plant alongside hardy geraniums, phlox, gaura, penstemons, valerian and lupins to create a heavenly cottage-garden look.

Trivia Facts

Introduced in 1937, we are almost certain that 'Rosea' and 'Jean Davis' are the same cultivar, apart from John who thinks that Rosea might be an improved version of Jean Davis.
