Lavender plants

It’s best not to plant lavender outside or to prune until all possibility of frost has passed. My cuttings have done well in an unheated greenhouse and I will bring them outside in their pots once there is no frost forecast.
Try Munstead for a beautiful English Lavender that looks good in the winter too, especially when properly pruned into a tight dome. This is a photo of some of my French (butterfly) lavender taken today.

Those look really good, I’ve got Rosemary cuttings in my greenhouse. Look the same, as they’re related.
I’ve Lavender around my fountain getting leggy now, so cuttings here I come!

Thank you ☺️ Rosemary is lovely too, just need a little salt now!

Lavender help please

For the first time ever, I am about to do some gardening. Always enjoyed looking at a lovely garden; my dad grew beautiful roses and my husband enjoyed pottering and growing. After a rough few years since being widowed, I have moved into a rented retirement bungalow and have a back garden and small 4ft x 4ft front area for planting. The back garden is entirely concreted - but nicely - like a courtyard. Just needs cleaning and tidying. When I moved in July there was a gorgeous lilac bush which overhung the pathway and was old and woody, so I got rid of it. I only did so because you had to lean to one side and shuffle past it on the narrow pathway. Shame because it smelt beautifully and the many bees were an absolute delight. I'd like to replace it with a potted variety (because its a concrete courtyard, all my planting will be in pots). What variety will grow large and quickly?
