Finding lavender

Posted by xenith (My Page) on

I know lavender is easy to find (especially Munstead, what is it with this variety anyway) but I'm not interested in the latest variety of L. angustifolia (or Munstead), I want green & woolly & Twickle Purple & L. latifolia but you think I can find somewhere that sells them?

Actually, I can but can I find somewhere that will send to Tasmania? There's Di's Delightful PLants but they have a minimum order of some quantity that's much more than I want to buy. (I could probably stand in the middle of my garden and touch the sides, I don't have room for a dozen plants that I don't really want). Anyway, short version, any ideas on where can I get these from? :(

Ooooh. I forgot about them and I used to spend too much there when I lived in Hobart. An older catalogue says they do have green lavender

Thanks!!

Hi,
last time I went to Stoneman's Garden Centre (Glenorchy) they had quite a few varieties of lavenders, definately worth checking out, they have a website and email so perhaps they have an online catalogue??

If you have no luck elsewhere you might like to try 'Cool River Herbs' at Nietta in the North West of Tassie. This lady has a massive range of herbs, she knows what she's talking about, and she adores lavender - so you might get lucky!

Cheers

I forgot to get back to this thread! (Sorry).

I haven't had any luck yet but as I've been slowly getting othr plants on "shopping list" I'm optimistic.

I haven't come across Cool River Herbs before. I'll have to check them out (don't supposed they have a website?)
