Growing Lavender

[tjackson]

Thinking about growing lavender as a foundation plant near the garage. I've read that lavender prefers dry alkaline soil. Has anyone had luck growing in east Hawaii near HPP?

I have 3 different types in pots on our lanai in town Keaau...they seem ...well, not as happy as most of our plants, but haven't died in over a year... but it has also been a dry year... so...

I tried growing it in Nanawale. Grew pretty good for a couple of months and then it died. If I try it again, I will keep it a pot in the green house. Most herbs that I've tried growing here don't do well in the ground.

I'm in HPP, I had L. multifida going pretty good until I assumed it was established enough to live on rain water alone...anyway, it dried out and died.

Im originally from Kaneohe, and now live in Hawaiian Acres. Im on Rd 2 between C-B (a dead end rd)... My place was $50K 6 yrs ago and it came with an offgrid solar powered new cabin w/loft on 3 lush raw acres. My land is 150' X 871' but feels much larger, its like living in your own park the front is cleared and planted out w/fruit/ornamentals where the cabin is, then 1/3 way back in a low slot I have a cool creek that cuts across the property that only flows 10-15 times a year (a beautiful plus even though the prop was prob cheaper because of this so called 'flaw') then the middle is tall Ohia jungle (some nearing 75'-100' tall) and then in back 1/2 I have about 1/3 miles of trails cut with many native endemic plants planted throughout the fern covered lava cracks and tubes.
