Does anyone here grow lavender?
I can't seem to keep my plant alive. I don't get it...
*I swear I know how to spell lavender. Honest.

Re: Does anyone here grow lavender?
Lavender is originally from the Med, so think dry, rocky, and alkaline soil, as well as full sun. Here's a great article: clicky.
I fell in love with lavender when we were in Italy, so I've done some research.

Yeah, I was going to say--it really likes dry, sandy conditions. And try to water it from the ground, not by sprinkling over it. It's not into having wet leaves.
My mint on the other hand, is out of control. It's awesome.
Me too. I've killed everything I've tried to grow.
Try a spider plant. I swear they are very, very hard to kill. My gardenia is rocking too! (Also, the previously mentioned mint.) If you can't find a spider plant, I might be willing to give you a trimming of mine. It started from a trimming of my grandma's.
OR! I can't think of what they are called, but the ones that sprout the white lilly-esque flower are pretty hard to kill. I've grown and split one of those at least three times. If all else fails, get a cactus.

This year will be different though. Yesterday, with my mom's help I bought a potted Zinnia, Phlox and Cilantro (very random combination, I know). This Saturday I'm going to dig up my front flower bed (it has 3 bushes and some monkey grass in it) and start planting. I'm planning to split the Phlox and plant some Petunias and Marigolds. I'm going to put the Zinnias in a hanging basket. We'll see how that goes.
