Hi,
I'd like to have plants for Spring blooming. I see that I can mail order plants for Fall delivery, and there is also seed available. If I purchase seed, and start them indoors, will there be enough time to transplant this Fall? Thank you for your help!

I WS'd 2 types of lavenders this past winter: True/English and Dwarf Munstead. The English sprouted well and I got over 60 sprouts. They are now sturdy little plants about 6" across. The Munstead didn't sprout as well and were slow to grow (I got only 9 plants out of a whole pack of seeds). But those plants, are now 6-8" tall and blooming. I'm hoping for some blooms on the English lavenders next year. Don't know if this info helps. If you want blooms next year apparently the Munstead (an 14-18" dwarf) blooms the first season, but not the English (2'-4').
