Silvery lavender with a gazania showing off, 28 Sept 2026
Lavender and gazania (grow bag)
Lavandula and Gazania (varieties tbc)
A fabric grow bag with a silvery lavender and a gazania, whose striped orange-and-red flowers open wide in the sun. Most likely planted in spring from cheap root cuttings or plugs; details tbc.
The lavender is tough, but the gazania is frost-tender, so move the bag somewhere sheltered or bring the gazania under cover once frosts start.
