How to Propagate Lavender from Cuttings | A Simple Guide + Tips

Lavender is a great plant to have in the garden, so why not propagate more of it! It works well in many situations from hedges to knot gardens. Lavender is also very animal resistent which is important when you live near deer or rabbits. Lavender is also very easy to root from cuttings. In this video I walk through the steps to propagate lavender from the start, selecting cuttings, and sticking them in the medium. I also provide some tips that may help improve rooting if you have trouble.

I'm planning a follow up video with rooting results in a couple weeks.
