T&M's Lavenders are pretty cheap anyway (via Van Meuwen). I bought my Lavender hedge that way (it is L. Munstead), and from memory the plants were 20p each.

Actually they are current 20p each now, and not on special offer, whereas when I bought mine they were "50% extra for free", or somesuch, so probably less than 20p each

http://www.vanmeuwen.com/flowers/fl...lants/lavendula-angustifolia-munstead/61045VM

They were for "plug tray" plants, which are tiny (but were very strong plants); the T&M offer doesn't say what size they are (nor what size pot to pot-up into, which would give a clue ...)

This was the "plug tray" I got:

so make sure you have some enough 7-9cm pots handy when yours are delivered

Only other point to make is that these may well be seed-grown (particularly the Hidcote), so may not be as richly coloured as vegetatively grown plants such as those from Downderry Nursery http://www.downderry-nursery.co.uk/plant-details2/?plant=251

"The real one - vegetatively propagated from material from the original plants. Beware of impostors! "

but they are £2.60 each (9cm pot) ... I've bought a few plants from them and plan to propagate my replace Lavender hedge during this summer.

In all honesty I cant remember what I put in that pot, I should use lables more, the bigger pot has some mint, the little trees are Blue Jacaranda that, eventually will be bonsai if I can keep them alive. I think I do remember having some Phacelia seeds so possibly.
