[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have had success with lavender (the French kind, "Provence") in full sun. It loves the heat as long as you prep the area well. I dug it out and mixed in a bunch of peat and added lime when I planted it. Lavender likes a basic (non-acidic) soil, so if the acid-lovers (azalea, rose, dogwood) thrive in your yard you are going to need to add lime to get lavender to grow. Just mix a bit in with the peat in the hole where you're putting the plant and you should be good to go. Thanks for the tip about wormwood, I'll look into it! I'm allergic to wasps but love to garden and would be happy to drive them away.[/quote] FYI, peat is very acidic.[/quote]
