Can I Save Lavender Cuttings?

[Scarlett]

My mum cut me some lavender from her garden before she moved out. I put it in a pot with some other dried flowers but all the tiny flowers are just falling off, leaving sticks! Is there any way I can plant these flowers to grow some more?! I know nothing about plants as you can see. But it seems a shame to just throw them away in 2 days time.

Potpuri. Put the dried flowers in a small bowl. The fragrance will endure for a good while.

Here;s advice on how to propagate from cuttings.

Get some fresh cuttings and have a go.

Sorry, misunderstood your query :-)

Sadly they are just sticks, no roots. I guess I can't grow anything from the sticks or flowers?!

[Mamyalynne]

No, sadly.

You can put the dried cuttings in a paper tissue and they will make your room smell nice.
You can buy lavender plants next year for a couple of quid from a supermarket and do the same.

Dried flowers are useless as cutting material but you could try germinating some seed, but the best option is probably, to buy some tiny plug plants and grow them on.

Spray whats left of the flowers on the sticks with cheap hairspray. They won't smell but the actual flowers won't drop off. You can buy lavender oil and sprinkle it on them occasionally to recreate the smell.

Thanks for the good ideas !
