During Christmas last year I decided to get one of those grow light stand for starting flowers from seed, both as a new hobby and also to brighten up my property which has a lot of greens but no flowers. One of the seeds I started is English lavender (munstead), currently they're still in my plug tray (2 inch type) and have reached the height of between 1.5 to 2 inches.
Want to ask if I should start to harden and transplant them into the garden now or wait till they're larger?
Normally I would just experiment with the plants but lavender have a very low rate of germination and also slow growth rate so I don't want mess up if possible. Thanks.
my wife got 3 lavender plants about 4 years ago when we cleared out hedges in the front. They were decent size, not a small ones, so not sure on the hardiness of some that small.
If I remember right, plants grow to the pot size, so putting them in a bigger pot will hopefully make them grow faster. My wife just trimmed the plants, they were about the size of a standard beach ball. #AnythingButTheMetricSystem
