Lavender Ornata is blooming 1/22/09
My lavender Ornata is blooming and has produced a stalk of bananas. Are they edible? Will it freeze tonight when temperature drops into the mid-twenties.....it is surrounded by a lot of shade.

No they are not edible, and at that temps they would freeze and the plants may likely be killed to the ground.

Re: Lavender Ornata is blooming 1/22/09
Congrats on the bloom. You might try placing some hay bales around the base and covering with a heavy blanket for a few degrees protection, worth a try I'd say. Here in the frozen tundra it's standard procedure.

Re: Lavender Ornata is blooming 1/22/09
Hey Robert congrats! At least you are aware of it blooming. When my first ever 'naner bloom came about I thought my plant had gone weird with the smaller leaves coming out! How dumb of me
