This CSA offering is for six different varieties of rooted starter lavender plugs. Healthy roots, 1/2"-2" green growth above growing medium. May be set in hydroponic medium if seed germinated or in sand/sterile starter mix if propagated clone.
Once established in its ideal growing conditions, lavender is a low maintenance plant that thrives on neglect.
Ready for pickup or delivery between May 15-May 31, 2023. Choose Farm/Farmer's Market pickup or USPS Priority Mail (CA, AZ, FL excluded.) If you are choosing "pickup" make sure you choose within the CSA time frame you are purchasing! We will contact you for additional pickup options around mid May. You will be able to choose your 6 different varieties from hydroponics for farm pickup only. Mail and Farmer's Market pickups will be 6 different varieties grower's choice.
These rooted starter plugs will require transplant in a 3-4 inch container until roots are established (2-4 weeks) prior to planting outside. Care and planting instructions will be supplied at pickup.
