Is it easy to root lavendar cuttings?

14 years ago

I got two plants of Goodwin Creek (or Godwin Creek, as I've also seen it). I'm assuming it's easy to propagate, so I made 4 cuttings and have potted them.

I've never tried to propagate lavender before, since this is just about the only one that will survive our hot summers. I had one for about 3 or 4 years before the heat and sun finally got it.

The temps are mostly 50-65 range, is that okay, or would they do better indoors under lights where it's warmer?

Lavender from tip cuttings is easy, not real fast, will take at least a month to grow roots. I start mine in an unheated greenhouse with bottom heat of 70 degrees. Must be tented or misted. From cuttings started now you should have a blooming plant in 2012. Al

I'm so glad somebody asked this because I've been searching for the same thing. I want to make about ten or twenty more lavender plants from my lavender bush. Seems to be one of the hardiest, prettiest herbs for me to grow here in AZ with our hot summers.

My neighbor takes cuttings, sticks them directly in the ground where they are to grow and they root. They get daily water from the sprinkler system and are in full sun - must be easy.

In my small greenhouse i have rooted english lavender, fernleaf, kew red lavender, french, dutch, lady, munstead, goodwin creek and provence. I did these in plug trays about a 3" cutting. Keeping it above freezing at night. Lightly watering once every day unless its cloudy. These were done the first of December and are now going into some 4" pots.
Its best to use the "tender" cuttings. The hard woody are hard to root. And when getting ready to transplant push them up from the bottom. Dont want to strip the roots.
